1 Workshop on Hyperspectral Sensor Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and Atmospheric Soundings from Environmental Satellites Atmospheric Soundings from Environmental Satellites Co-organizers: NOAA and NASA civilian space agencies of the U.S. Government and the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) - serving 26 member states (Dedicated to Moustafa Chahine, JPL Chief Scientist, AIRS science team lead, who passed away 3/24/2011) (Dedicated to Moustafa Chahine, JPL Chief Scientist, AIRS science team lead, who passed away 3/24/2011) March 29-31, 2011 Key Biscayne, Miami FL University of Miami Rosentiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science campus, adjacent to NOAA AOML research Lab Roger Heymann,PE Engineering staff NOAA NESDIS USA

2  Welcome to this satellite hosted hyperspectral sensor workshop, meeting, technical exchange among nations’ governments with its environmental applications directed to GHGs, atmospheric chemistry, weather forecasts.  Atmospheric chemistry, weather forecasting, Green house gases, that is the evolution of this sensors’ development, applications and world government space missions, for civilian environmental operations  We are here to discuss these government satellite missions research and operations through your invited papers  Welcome to the U.S., its City of Miami FL  My name is Roger Heymann and I am on the NOAA NESDIS engineering staff for advanced satellite system planning. I am a co-creator and co-organizer of this workshop with others.  The other workshop partner co-creators, co-organizers are: o Mitch Goldberg - NOAA- NESDIS o Bob Atlas – NOAA-OAR- AOML research lab of Key Biscayne, Miami FL o Ken Jucks – NASA Headquarters o Rosemary Munro – EUMETSAT and its 26 member states o Chris Barnet – NOAA- NESDIS

3  Our NOAA host for this workshop is the NOAA OAR Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorology Laboratory (AOML), a research Lab, and its Director Dr Robert Atlas. AOML’s building is immediately across Rickenbacker Causeway from our meeting  We are using the campus facilities of the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science for our meeting. We are all guests of the university’s facilities and we thank the university for allowing us to be here. It is a private university. We are here in Key Biscayne to highlight our NESDIS collaboration with AOML  I am a guest to the city of Miami as many of you are, my NOAA office and home is in MD near Washington DC.  Workshop started as NOAA cross Line Office coordination between NESDIS and OAR AOML research Lab. Expanded to NASA Headquarters and EUMETSAT as co-organizers.  Workshop by its invited attendees has evolved to a meeting of world nation Governments- almost all speakers represent their Governments  This meeting is viewed NOT as a science meeting, but a meeting one of governments to assist in their future hyperspectral satellite mission planning and operations, and of coordination among world Governments

4  Following Governments’ speakers participating beyond EUMETSAT Member States and U.S. are:  Belgium  Brazil  Canada  France  Germany  Japan  United Kingdom  How we will function:  We have 30 minute breaks, a cafeteria just outside our door  1 ½ hours for lunch, maybe take a walk, spend some time in Miami’s sun, talk, wireless access at university  Tonight-Tues arranged at Courtyard Marriott for bartender & open bar for ~1 hour for us to gather, buy drinks, talk, meet  Tomorrow- Wednesday night arranged group dinner at Rusty Pelican, $38 each person

And so NASA headquarters and EUMETSAT asked if such a meeting was to be developed could they co-organize such a meeting with NOAA  Thank you invited speakers and Governments for helping make this Meeting happen  And thank you to our International Affairs Off ices of NESDIS and EUMETSAT who helped through their coordination, to make this happen dedicate this meeting to Moustafa Chahine  And we dedicate this meeting to Moustafa Chahine 7
