, Bergen, Arctic GOOS mtg Spaceborne Observations of the Polar Regions Global Inter-agency IPY Polar Snapshot Year (GIIPSY) Summary of observations suited to spaceborne systems planned to be operating during the IPY Heritage documents include: –IGOS Cryosphere Theme Report –ISMASS Report –NRC Decadal Survey Climate Panel Report (in prep) Prepared by the GIIPSY Project Group

, Bergen, Arctic GOOS mtg IPY science goals can be realized through collaboration on the end-to-end system of: Sensors and Spacecraft Acquisition Planning Receiving Ground Stations Processing Facilities Calibration and Validation The End to End System Additionally, plans should include suborbital campaigns where there may be a need to tie interrupted spaceborne observations (e.g. ERS-2 to IceSAT to Envisat RA2) that bracket the IPY period.
