Welcome to the CNES HQ meeting of the SWOT Science Working Group Hosted by: Nelly Mognard, LEGOS-CNES Doug Alsdorf, Ohio State Lee-Lueng Fu, JPL Yves Menard, LEGOS-CNES SWG Goal To formulate the mission’s science goals and requirements and to conduct a mission definition study leading to an optimal preliminary design of the mission given science requirements and technology and cost constraints. Meeting Goal To make decisions and initiate actions that will eventually complete the overall goal of the SWG. By the end of the meeting, today, decisions will be made on the issues described in the agenda. Funding from CNES, NASA, JPL, and Ohio State University

Welcome to the SWOT meeting Objectives of the meeting:  Define and prioritize the Science Questions.  Examine the Science Drivers to mission design and technology.  Prioritize the Risk Reduction Studies.  Identify Funding Sources for the trade-off studies.  Identify Team Leaders.  Define a Timeline.
