In case you weren't already aware of it, the Developmental Testbed Center (DTC) at NOAA and NCAR in Boulder, Colorado publishes a quarterly newsletter describing its work on issues involving research to operations (R2O) transitions. The DTC was established to accelerate these transitions, and also to facilitate communication and code transfers in the other direction (operations to research — O2R) to improve the ability of research institutions to have a more direct and timely impact on operations.
The Developmental Testbed Center (DTC) in Boulder, Colorado is offering visitor appointments for up to a year, beginning on a mutually agreed upon start date. Proposals must be received by January 6, 2014, with notification to submitters of successful proposals in early March 2014.
