From page 31...
... In the EOS program, NASA proposes a major step in the evolution of the science and technology of global remote sensing and microwave imagers that provide detailed images of the Earth's surface; tropospheric and stratospheric sounders that provide vertical profiles of parameters such as temperature, trace gas concentration, and humidity; and accurate positioning instruments. EOS will carry two classes of instruments: facility and principal investigator (PI)
From page 32...
... Both the EOS space-based measurements and EOSDIS are planned as interdisciplinary, interagency, international endeavors, all of which are essential features of the USGCRP. While EOS as proposed would provide extensive capabilities in remote sensing and data management, it is best understood in the larger context of NASAs Mission to Planet Earth and the even broader context of the programs and plans for remote sensing of other agencies and nations.

... Global Change Research Program in general, we recommend that a continuing ovemew by independent nongovernmental scientists and engineers be maintained. We were charged to address four questions.
