Research Focus FY08:
Bill is a meteorologist leading UCAR's effort to deploy an array of satellites that promises to provide a wealth of data about the atmosphere. COSMIC, which stands for the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate, is a joint project between the United States and Taiwan (in Taiwan it's called FORMOSAT-3). The system is poised to transform weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and research on space weather.
