JADE Joint Applications Development Environment “A VIRTUAL RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT for REAL TIME and ARCHIVE EVALUATION of QPE/F and SEVERE WEATHER APPLICATIONS on NMQ”

JADE is: A “virtual” place to collaborate A “wrapper” around applications Flexible and adaptive to needs Expandable A connection to other virtual “spaces” User-friendly Up to us and available to all

JADE is not: Fully funded Perfectly defined Capable of infinite processing Restricted by Intellectual Property
