TL;DR: Test beds have emerged as a critical mechanism linking weather research with forecasting operations and the USWRP helped develop these concepts with science teams and provided seed funding for several of the test beds described.

TL;DR: The Global Wind Observing Sounder (GWOS) concept has been developed as a hypothetical space-based hybrid wind lidar system by NASA in response to the 2007 National Research Council (NRC) decadal survey, is expected to provide global wind profile observations with high vertical resolution, precision, and accuracy when realized as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between ozone and potential vorticity in the region around the tropopause using a linear, quasi-geostrophic model for large-scale Rossby waves was studied.
