Gaps Assessment and Impacts Document available

The objective of this Gaps Assessment and Impacts Document (GAID) is to identify and assess yet unfulfilled user needs (‘gaps’) in the observation capability of Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) within the sphere of the GAIA-CLIM project. The impact assessment has focus on the availability of, and ability to utilize, truly reference quality traceable measurements in support of the long-term sustained space-borne monitoring of a set of ECVs.

Gaps are regularly identified and updated from the project work packages. Therefore, the GAID is a “living document”. Further expert input on the public drafts is welcomed suggesting additional gaps or updating our knowledge of the identified gaps’ status.

Find here the first version of the GAID as well as a template for collecting input.
