Greg Bodeker attended the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) quadrennial  symposium from 10-13 April 2917 on behalf of GRUAN (the GCOS Reference Upper-Air Network). The purpose of the meeting was to obtain community input to the latest GAW Implementation Plan. Greg gave a presentation titled "What does 'integrated observations' mean?". Funding for Greg's attendance was provided through the New Zealand Linking Science into International Policy (LSIP) Programme for which we are very grateful. Full details on the GAW symposium, including links to all presentations is available here.
