Primary among the goals for this Ocean-Shot will be to support the important role of, and maintenance of the continuity of space-based, broad-scale measurements of the essential ocean surface variables; e.g., OSVW, SSH, SST, SSS, Precipitation, Ocean Color, by building on associated in-situ measurements. Projects and pilots will seek to enhance the value of satellite observation with measurements made of physics, biogeochemistry, and biology within the water column, and the atmosphere. This endeavor will also contribute to the well-established infrastructure in place to improve the calibration, evaluation, and validation of satellite measurements, and to intercalibrate different satellite missions and instruments. This project will highlight community awareness of the interfaces and activities that will ensure the sustained observations needed for EOV satellite and in-situ observational operations, research, and monitoring.Activities will include convening and/or joining an international, multidisciplinary working group or groups consisting of members of requirements setting, implementation teams, and data managers. In time the project will develop a series of use cases highlighting satellite field campaigns that have resulted in enhanced system design and to an improved understanding of the ocean. Over the decade the project will seek to create mechanisms resulting in ongoing recommendations for additional co-design requirements among the scientific, remote sensing, and in-situ community. |
