Cuba, U.S. groups mull meteorology cooperation agreement
Meteorologists from Cuba and the United States have made progress toward the signing of a meteorology cooperation agreement, a Cuban meteorologist said Friday.

Rene Arredondo, a meteorologist from the eastern Cuban province of Camaguey, said the proposal was put forward at a recent meeting by Richard Anthes, president of the U.S. University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).

According to Anthes, the two groups agreed to build a virtual library, which would facilitate the exchange of information and pave the way for future agreement between the American Meteorology Society and the Meteorological Society of Cuba.

The U.S. side is also expected to give assistance to Cuba's amateur network of meteorology observations.
