The Panel on Weather and Climate has specific recommendations in the following areas: PRESENT-WEATHER DISPLAY Current and projected satellite systems provide the possibility of supplying timely, nearly instantaneous monitoring of small to medium weather systems whose occurrence impacts diverse industrial, commercial, and agricultural communities, as well as the general public.

... Hence, critical attention must be paid to calibration, intercomparison, and periodic in situ recalibration of radiation sensors on spacecraft. The Panel recommends initiation of observation of a number of these climatic factors; an intensive program to investigate the time and space sampling needed to produce meaningful average values for large regions, as well as for the entire globe; and the development of comparison and in-flight recalibration procedures that will make it possible to identify secular changes that may be related to climatic trends or variations.
