Tony Mannucci (JPL/NASA) has taken over the position of IROWG Rapporteur to CGMS from Mitch Goldberg (NOAA) in June 2012. Tony has been the NASA/JPL lead for RO development for many years and IROWG is grateful to see him serving us in this position. Mitch was our first Rapporteur and we want to also thank him for his support over the first 2 years and his guidance in the formation of IROWG. We would also like to thank Axel von Engeln (EUMETSAT) and Dave Ector (NOAA, now with Spire), who have successfully acted as IROWG co-chairs for many years. |
