2. Overview CIOSS Introduction STAR Organization
General Research Focus & Priorities
Changes in ORA/STAR
Connection to NOAA and NESDIS (NSIS)

3. Cooperative Institute for Oceanographic Studies (CIOSS)
Mission: To develop, improve and evaluate methods of ocean remote sensing and ocean-atmosphere modeling
Focus and research areas: Basic research in ocean, atmosphere, and marine ecosystem dynamics; applications of basic research to the management of living and non-living resources within the coastal and open oceans; contributions to ocean observing and modeling systems through the evaluation of plans for future satellite systems and models; satellite sensors and techniques; ocean-atmosphere fields and fluxes; ocean-atmosphere models and data assimilation; ocean-atmosphere analyses; outreach

4. CIOSS 1st Competitively Awarded Cooperative Institute in NOAA
