Climate Data Records from Environmental Satellites: Interim Report http://www.nap.edu/catalog/10944.html
PREFACE
provided keen insights, able direction, and tremendous support to our endeavor. This includes board director, Chris Elfring; project assistant, Rob Greenway; and especially our erudite study director, Sheldon Drobot. A word of thanks to members of the committee; they are wonderful, talented individuals who volunteered countless hours to this effort. This reflects their dedication to the science community, and illustrates their belief that by having the opportunity to help guide NOAA in the detailed development of an end-to-end CDR program, they can make a difference. Our committee’s work is not yet done. Part of the attraction of serving on this committee is that we have two opportunities to produce advice: this interim report and a chance to comment in detail later this year on the satellite CDR plan that NOAA will now formulate. We look forward to getting back together in the middle of 2004, at which time we anticipate producing a second report in response to NOAA’s draft plan. David A. Robinson, Chair Committee on Climate Data Records from NOAA Operational Satellites
