[R] Who uses R?

[Thomas Adams]

Eleni,

FWIW, there are a number of us in the U.S. NOAA/National Weather Service 
and at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) (who wrote 
the 'Verification' package) who use R for verification of meteorological 
and hydrologic forecasts, aiding in the calibration of distributed 
hydrologic models, and in the analysis of radar estimated precipitation 
biases, and more…

Regards,
Tom
