... The various agencies have differing levels of expertise associated with each of these programmatic ele ments, and a long-term strategy should seek to capitalize on inherent organizational strengths where appropriate. 1National Research Council, Climate Data Records from Environmental Satellites: Interim Report , The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2004, p.
