From page 27... ...
This "Science Plan"is intended to produce: 1. A quantitative understanding of atmospheric, terrestrial, and airsea interactions that govern water and energy cycles on intraseasonal to centennial time scales and on global and regional scales: this includes, inter alia, the roles of water vapor, clouds, and precipitation processes; biogeochemical processes, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems influences; and the role of surface and subsurface waters within the overall hydrologic cycle; 2.

A capability to model and, where appropriate, predict variations in global and regional hydrologic processes and water resources on seasonal to interannual time scales and longer time scales; and 5. The requirements for comprehensive, systematic spaced-based, ground-based and in situ observations in support of the water cycle science objectives, with consideration of the compatibility of measurements across scales and processes.
