... Many of the continuing science requirements for studies of ocean circulation will thus not be met by the altimeter on the planned NPOESS platforms. However, NOAA/NESDIS has begun to explore other options with NASA to meet the requirements of the research community as well as the operational requirements of the NPOESS system.

... plan the full scope of the data research utilization effort as part of sensor design with a budget to support the activity, and (2) assist NCEP in developing the archiving requirements for the EMC user communities." (p.

... remote sensing programs and their ability to meet the science and policy needs for climate research and monitoring and the requirements for operational weather observation and forecasting. The panel should be convened under the auspices of the National Science and Technology Council and draw upon input from agency representatives, climate researchers, and operational users.

... should develop a long-range plan for the federal role in operational Earth remote sensing. To the maximum degree possible, this plan should facilitate common use of spacecraft and data-handling systems by institutions (public and private)

... 23) "Flexibility in the NPOESS program: Current plans include weight and power growth allowances to enable testing of new sensor concepts and designs on the NPOESS platforms.
From page 97...
... 63) "Special attention should be devoted to improving the costeffectiveness of the federal effort in civil remote sensing (for example, by flying both operational and research instruments on the same platforms)
From page 98...
... ntities pursuing common remote sensing data (cont'd) formats and standards should consult with the sensor and software vendors to ensure that data acquired from the use of new technologies for data acquisition, analysis, and storage and distribution are consistent with other data sets." (p.
From page 99...
... 3-4) "The Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Agricultural Extension programs should be expanded to include graduate fellowships and associateships to permit students to work at agencies that use remote sensing data.
