[CliC Update] What are your Southern Ocean satellite data needs?

Dear Climate and Cryosphere Community -

We are soliciting input on your requirements for Southern Ocean satellite data as part of a joint initiative of the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS), Climate and the Cryosphere (CliC), and World Meteorological Organization Polar Space Task Group (WMO PSTG). The initiative aims to identify the satellite data requirements for the Southern Ocean (across all temporal/spatial scales) and to compile this information into a community report of Southern Ocean satellite data requirements for the Polar Space Task Group and other interested groups.

This is a great opportunity to voice your needs, and feed information directly into the strategic planning for future missions and research initiatives. Provide feedback on current data streams, issues with data access, validation issues, gaps in data products, spatial and temporal coverage etc. This survey is open to all Southern Ocean data users, across all data types (air-sea ­flux, sea ice, biological, physical, etc)

Please take a few minutes to give us your input: www.climate-cryosphere.org/activities/targeted/so-sat-req

Deadline 31 May 2014

If you have any questions please contact Louise Newman () or Jenny Baeseman ()
