A recurring theme at recent satellite meteorology and numerical weather prediction symposia has been the availability and relevance of certain unique products derived from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) sensors, particularly the Special Sensor Microwave Temperature Sounder (SSM/T) and Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) products. As real-time access to these data has been improved through the shared processing efforts of both the Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NOAA/NESDIS), the scientific community's interest in the use of these data has increased. A conference on DMSP retrieval products was planned by scientists at the NOAA/National Meteorological Center (NMC), the NOAA/NESDIS, and the DoD. The conference was held 14-15 April 1992 at the NOAA Science Center in Washington, D.C. The objective of the conference was to bring together individuals from the defense and civilian communities with a goal of understanding the use of DMSP retrieval products. The format consisted of four sessions of contributed papers and a workshop session of discussion and recommendations. The workshop was organized by Atmospheric and Environmental Re- search, Inc. (AER). The research community was represented by the Air Force Phillips Laboratory (PL), the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the NOAA/NESDIS, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Operational centers included the NMC, the navy's Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC), Air Force Global Weather Central (AFGWC), the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and Canada's Atmospheric Environment Service. DoD was also represented by headquarters, Air Force Space Systems Division, and the Air Weather Service. Industry representatives included those from GE Astro-Space, Lockheed, Hughes, and ITT.
