International EOS/S-NPP Direct Readout Conference to take place during March 2016

This is the second announcement for the next NASA Direct Readout Conference (NDRC), more commonly known as the International EOS/S-NPP Direct Readout Conference, to take place March 8th - 11th 2016 in Rabat, Morocco. Our host, the Royal Center for Remote Sensing (CRTS - http://www.crts.gov.ma) and our co-sponsors USDA-Forest Service, University of Wisconsin-SSEC, Oregon State University-CEOAS, and World Meteorological Organization, look forward to facilitating a rich exchange among real-time Earth observing data users. This will be our 9th meeting where the Direct Readout community has demonstrated and shared great advances in developing and utilizing EOS/S-NPP instrument data and corresponding science algorithms for real-time applications. The purpose of this conference is to continue this thread and explore the latest in instrument-specific research algorithms, real-time applications and science data processing systems to make the most use of near/real-time data for decision support systems. The conference website is up and we invite you to register as soon as possible to allow us to better understand your areas of interests and expectations, and better formulate the conference agenda.
