The HRIT/EMWIN program and NOAA rely on voluntary community feedback to help us evaluate the effectiveness of the broadcast and its value to the community.

Your feedback will increase the value of the HRIT/EMWIN broadcast for its users, help NOAA gauge the impact of the broadcast and the size of the user community, and help NOAA plan requirements for the evolution of the HRIT/EMWIN service for the GeoXO Mission, to begin operating in the early 2030s.

The survey is here: 2023 HRIT/EMWIN User Survey

We are extending the open period until 15 February 2024.

You will receive a copy of your responses, including a link to edit and re-submit them in case you wish to do so. Your time and attention is very much appreciated! We look forward to receiving your feedback.
