... Reporter An impressive foundation for water and energy cycle research has been built in the United States by GCIP in the last nine years.'° GCIP was the first regional GEWEX project to bring together the hydrologic and meteorological science communities for a common research goal focused on water and energy cycling in the coupled land-atmosphere system. This interdisciplinary concept was adopted soon thereafter by several other international hydrometeorological projects (Mackenzie GEWEX Study (MAGS)

... With its objective of producing high resolution data sets particularly concentrated on the heat source and sink regions that drive and modify climate, CEOP addresses one of the critical climate monitoring needs outlined in the NRC's Climate Observing Systems reported For these reasons, and because it has the potential to be a powered! integrating focus of the diverse hydrometeorological research and observational programs planned for 2001-2002, the panel recommends U.S.
