1. 1 GEO Energy Expert Meeting: Perspectives on Work Plan Tasks August 28-29, 2006 Richard Eckman NASA Applied Sciences Program Science Mission Directorate Extending the societal and economic benefits of Earth science research, information, and technology …

2. 2 Ongoing Task: EN-06-04 Earth Observations (next generation):  Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM) – Wave energy resource assessment  GLORY, Calipso, Cloudsat – Aerosol, cloud coverage: surface solar energy  Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) – Regional precipitation changes (due to climate change, in longer-term?). Impacts on hydropower, energy demand & supply  Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) – global CO 2 budget, monitoring. Carbon sequestration  Space Weather (for GICs) Gaps  Launch delays. TRMM→GPM, TOPEX→OSTM Models  High-res climate models for regional impacts (e.g., GISS ModelE)
