From page 224...
... Identify steps to enhance and extend mesoscale meteorological observing capabilities so they meet multiple national needs; and 5. Recommend practical steps to transform and modernize current, limited mesoscale meteorological observing capabilities to better meet the needs of a broad range of users and improve cost effectiveness.
