Workshop on Hyperspectal Meteorological Science of UW-MURI and Beyond 14–15 May 2002, Madison, Wisconsin Status The UW & UH MURI is a healthy research collaboration, especially when considering the new subcontracts. We are well underway on our proposed Year 1 and Year 2 tasks, and with respect to Product Research we are progressing well. We are progressing on many fronts, from RTE development to atmospheric/surface parameter retrievals. Year 2 will see more time spent using the simulated GIFTS data than generating it.
