Goals of First VOCALS Meeting
(1) To conduct preparations for mission-critical tasks in VOCALS-REx;
(2) To coordinate modeling tasks;
(3) To build links between modeling and observational groups and ensure the best use is made of the REx data in model development;
(4) To review preliminary results of PreVOCA.
