Mission
…to accelerate and improve the quantitative use of research and operational satellite data in weather, ocean, climate and environmental analysis and prediction models.
VisionAn interagency partnership working to become a world leader in applying satellite data and research to operational goals in environmental analysis and prediction
Sciencepriorities
Radiative Transfer Modeling (CRTM), new instruments, clouds and precipitation, land surface, ocean, atmospheric composition.
