From page 19...
... The plan recommends developing a coordinated plan around three science questions that we agree are of the utmost importance to USGCRP water cycle research. Thus, the plan offers a useful and challenging science plan to the USGCRP agencies, and we support the new initiative contained in the plan.
From page 20...
... RECOMMENDATIONS The science questions, goals, and pillar initiatives found in the water cycle science plan presuppose a sound foundation of observations, a thorough understanding of hydrologic processes active on the scale of large river basins and globally, and accurate representation of the water cycle within climate models. The first priority of the USCGRP must be to assure that this foundation is in place.
From page 21...
... The science questions contained in the water cycle science plan that are related to understanding and predicting variability require an improved understanding of hydrologic processes and their representation in climate models. Therefore, it seems that advances in this area are also fundamental to the water cycle science plan, and the research community is poised to make these advances.
