Hosted by the The COSMIC Project of the UCAR Office of Programs
The development of the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC program is progressing well. The launch is scheduled for December 2005. The FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC data are expected to have a significant impact on operational weather prediction, climate analysis, ionospheric research and space weather forecasting. The objective of the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC Science Summer Camp is to facilitate the use of FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC data for research and operation. Leading experts will be invited to give lectures on the various scientific aspects of FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC. It is anticipated that the summer camp will be attended by approximately 50 students from Taiwan and the U.S.
Location: The lectures will be given at the Central Weather Bureau, in Taipei.
