NOMADS Participants
Introduction
Participants who implement the NOMADS framework accept responsibilities
to provide dedicated support for data set maintenance, documentation,
software programming, and local web services and portals. Participants
commit to support the NOMADS hardware and software and common data access
methodologies that are integral parts of the program namely OPeDNAP.
NOMADS is a community effort leveraging resources across the participants.
It is recognized that the success of NOMADS is largely dependant on the
willingness of its participants to contribute applications and software
development and support.
In addition to the core participation of NOAA laboratories, centers and
offices, other NOMADS participants include universities, federal agencies,
and organizations who act according to participant guidelines. NOAA
participants are servers of data and are partially responsible for the
support of their own NOMADS resources.

Collabrators
Many of the core collaborators shown below provide
data portals for NOMADS. For access to these data
portals, see the Model Data
Access page.

Steering Group
The function of the NOMADS Steering Group is to:
- Provide vision and goals for the program
- Direct the course of work where applicable
- Provide input to the NOMADS Program Plan
- Develop an outreach plan
- Provide data availability recommendations
- Oversee the development of both a science plan
and a technical plan
- Coordinate efforts of the Technical Team and the
Science Team
- Generate support for OPeNDAP
- Secure funding

Science Team
The NOMADS Science Team directs the requirements
process for on-line access and long-term stewardship
and makes recommendations to the NOAA Archive Board.
They help define climate and weather tools necessary
for systematic approaches to climate model evaluation;
and define and develop tools for quality control of
various models and data. The Science team is
responsible for long-term science planning and
associated formal workshops called by the Steering
Group.
