... Unclassified and classified summaries of the workshops will be prepared by a designated rapporteur. Premise: The current satellite systems and their available data streams do not provide adequate observations of aerosols, clouds, and precipitation to constrain our modeling of the relative impact of aerosols and their precursors on the climate and hydrologic systems on a global or regional scale.
