DTC Charter

The responsibilities for the operation of the DTC are described in the DTC Charter. The DTC management plan is based on a hierarchical structure of boards and committees whose members represent the interests of the NWP community. The Terms of Operation (TOO) defines how the DTC operates.

DTC Management

DTC Executive Committee: The DTC EC, which is composed of representatives from both the research and operational units of the modeling community, provides executive oversight for the DTC.

DTC Management Board: The DTC Management Board assists the DTC Director in preparing the Annual Operating Plan (AOP), annual budget, the selection of codes for testing, and proposals for multi-year code testing and evaluation projects.

DTC Science Advisory Board: The DTC Science Advisory Board assists the DTC Director in shaping the strategic direction and objectives for the DTC.
