The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and Societal Benefits of Improved Earth Observations

Connecting Satellite Observation Systems to GEOSS Integrate observing systems, nationally and internationally, to benefit from the increased number and distribution of observations of any given event Identify measures to minimize data gaps – to move toward a comprehensive, coordinated, and sustained Global Earth Observation “System of Systems”

Challenges Facing the Community Research to Operations Transition (R2O) –Remarkable record of satellite observations derived from instruments largely designed for weather forecasting Data Sharing Principles –WMO Resolutions 40 (met) and 25 (hydro) Different approaches/terminology among different sectors and/or organizations – confusing to policy-makers

Working across the Constellations -- Mt. Etna InSAR

The Way Forward... both satellite and in situ data are required to better monitor, characterize, and predict changes in the Earth system. While in situ measurements will remain essential and largely measure what cannot be measured from satellites, Earth- observation satellites are the only realistic means to obtain the necessary global coverage, and with well- calibrated measurements will become the single most important contribution to global observations for climate.
