Maintain and grow the budgets for commercial weather data at NOAA, NASA, and advocate for better or improved public-private partnerships in private weather data and weather "intelligence" to support the government's leadership in weather information, nationally and globally. Tomorrow.io supports with other related private sector companies a coalition advocating for technology neutrality in weather data collection, allowing the Federal government to use the best technologies available, as well as further and growing investments in this scientific area. Also "TIO" and the Commercial Weather Alliance, or "CWA," are engaging in the upcoming review and re-authorization of the Weather Act (HR 6093 etc.) this year and any related legislation that is important to the private sector weather industry. We recommend greater focus on public-private partnerships in this legislation. Look at the upcoming farm bill, re-authorization of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, for potential weather science improvement language, including consideration of a USDA commercial weather data program or similar initiative within existing programs to support sub-agencies such as the National Institute for Food and Agriculture, and/or Forest Service. Also engage with US international agencies and sub-agencies to educate about weather intelligence services from the private sector, and encourage public-private partnering for improved constituent services.
