1. A benchmark statistical description of the sub-grid scale velocity field is needed. - R. Brown, R. Frehlich, D. Emmitt, R. Foster

2. Prepare a proposal to support a targeted observations field experiment with a wind lidar on a C130 or other aircraft. - M. Hardesty, Z. Toth, E. Kalnay

3. Prepare a whitepaper comparing a lidar and other wind sensors. - M. Kavaya, P. Flamant, I. Guch

4. Develop a proposal for deployment of a wind lidar on commercial aircraft. - R. Fleming, R. Atlas, D. Emmitt, M. Hardesty

5. Develop a joint NASA/NOAA technology plan for a hybrid wind lidar. - B. Gentry, M. Kavaya, G. Spiers, M. Hardesty, R. Atlas, D. Emmitt, J. Yoe (CLOSED)

6. A co-plot of the CTI CAMEX backscatter data and the recent GTWS 2 micron backscatter profiles is needed. - P. Gatt, D. Emmitt

7. Is a space-based DWL the appropriate technology solution for global tropospheric wind profiles? - D. Emmitt, R. Atlas, J. Yoe to prepare the answer

• Quick Answer: Should mention satellite needed for global coverage and a lidar is needed for full profiles.
• Long Answer: Should include comparisons with Quickscat, Windsat, GIFTS, cloud and water vapor motion winds, rawinsondes, stratosat, aircraft winds, etc.

8. How do we interpret multiple OSSE results? - J. Yoe to prepare answer and get concurrence from NCEP, NASA, and FSL

9. How do we ensure the NWP centers are ready to use wind profiles when they become available? - D. Emmitt, J. Yoe, W. Baker to prepare the answer

• Quick Answer: OSSEs and the JCSDA

10. DWL FAQs should be sent to I. Guch for posting on the website. - All

11. Provide a copy of the Cordes (1995) cost-benefit study to I. Guch, K. Miller, G. Pierce and post to the website - W. Baker

12. Reconvene an Executive Steering Committee to advise NASA/NOAA on actions required to implement the wind lidar roadmap. - I. Guch, S. Neeck
