7 th Ozone Research Managers meeting WMO, Geneva, CH May 18-21, /16 Focus Missions GEO-CEOS Harmoniz. Summary Satellites: Key Issues Summary of the Key Issues 1. Continuity of satellite ozone profilers 2. High risk of satellite data gaps, missing backups, reduced capabilities; under consideration. 3. Concerns about status and evolution of GB networks 4. Traceability and harmonization of measurements and QA/QC for SAT, GB, and higher level syst. 5. To garantee interoperability/traceability for systems facing high quality requirements of research and monitoring, enhanced cooperation (i) between space agencies, (ii) within ground-based networks, and (iii) between GB, SAT and users, is cucial in the fields of calibration, level-1-to-2 algorithms, validation, data fusion/integration/assimilation, comminication, and education.
