Global Observing Systems Space Panel (GOSSP), third session

Abstract
Paris, France, May 27-30, 1997

The Global Observing Systems Space Panel (GOSSP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Commission for Basic Systems (CBS) Working Group on Satellites (WGSAT) held a joint meeting in Paris, France, 27 - 30 May 1997. The objectives of the joint session were to realise a mutual approach of problems and to obtain coordinated solutions. After the opening joint session, the two groups met separately to deal with their particular agenda. One major aim of the GOSSP meeting was to discover overlap or conflicting data requirements from climate related space-based observations to create a coherent set of data requirements. It was expected that the G3OS, i.e., Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS) on behalf of the G3OS, will define and clarify their input to the database and discuss a suggested review methodology.
