This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Award No. NSF SCI 04-38712

Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this publication are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
 
The goal of this workshop is help create a network between the LEAD partners and educators. It features hands-on activities such as LEAD portal development and testing, as well as demonstrations on the latest software developments.  One of which, IDV Lite, is currently under development at NCSA with the purpose of making it much easier (fast, more efficient) to use the Integrated Data Viewer in the classroom.
LEAD makes meteorological data, forecast models, and analysis and visualization tools available to anyone who wants to interactively explore the weather as it evolves.
