COSMIC Retreat 9 October 2008

The COSMIC Retreat held in October 2008 focused on critical discussions about the future of the COSMIC project, including funding through FY2011 and plans for COSMIC-II. Key topics included enhancing international collaborations, developing independent project proposals, and defining the baseline for COSMIC-II launches. The retreat underscored the significance of scientific activities, upcoming meetings, and the impact of COSMIC on weather predictions, particularly typhoon forecasting. Emphasis was placed on strategies for gathering data through ground-based GPS and exploring new scientific opportunities.
