Chief Defence Scientist Dr Alex Zelinsky has signed a strategic alliance to explore mutual interests in defence and meteorological sciences with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

The purpose of the strategic alliance is to establish a national framework for co-operation between the Bureau and DSTO in relation to the provision of meteorological services by the Bureau to DSTO. It enables both parties to combine skills and experience, and work together to undertake a long-term program of collaborative activities in meteorological research.

The alliance sits beneath the broader Strategic Partnering agreement between the Bureau and the Department of Defence.
