What are your requirements for Southern Ocean satellite data? Are your data needs being met? Take this quick online survey!
www.climate-cryosphere.org/activities/targeted/so-sat-req
This joint initiative of Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS), Climate and the Cryosphere (CliC), and World Meteorological Organization Polar Space Task Group (WMO PSTG) 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.
This is a great opportunity to voice your needs, and feed information directly into the strategic planning for future missions. 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)
Deadline 31 May 2014
If you have any questions please contact Louise Newman (newman@soos.aq) or Jenny Baeseman (jbaeseman@gmail.com)
