| The work plan of OPERA 3 includes a number of work
packages which are designed to fulfil its objectives and planned
tasks. Those related to data services are: |
| |
| Pilot Data Hub operations (WP3.1) |
| Institute: UKMO Project leader: S. Matthews |
| Maintenance and operation of the pilot Data Hub
established during OPERA 2. The pilot hub is expected to run for an
initial two years (2007-2008) and also in 2009 during the development
of the operational hub. The pilot hub gives data services for quality
control purposes only, but Council may be asked to release the data
for other users within the OPERA members. |

the decision is made to establish an operational data hub. |
