A cross-NOAA workshop was held to assess how NOAA uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies in operations and research. The 2-day workshop involved 56 participants from across most line offices and many locations. GPS is mainly used within NOAA for navigational purposes but also for tracking radio sondes, storm damage marking, datum referencing, and numerous other uses.
