| 26 February 2004: NRL has terminated all funding for the MWFM 6.2 research and validation project. Consequently, due to staff cuts we are no longer able to provide operational twice-daily troposphere-stratosphere mountain wave forecasts for the sectors indicated below or to continue validation work with associated colleagues at various centers. We will continue to provide forecasts on a campaign basis for contract customers, such as NASA scientists involved in this summer's MidCiX campaign. We will also continue our R&D efforts at a reduced level focusing more on science and related issues. |
