Year 3 (now) – focusing on global energy budgets Using GRACE and other water data to cross-check energy balances.
inter-comparison of different data sets
Year 4&5: focus on long-term climatologies, analyze energy transports of climate systems, test model results
Science issue: Global energy budgets will be balanced using combined NASA satellite data sets.
Approach: Quantify uncertainties in the integrated global energy data; cross-validate climate energy components using both energy and water cycle satellite observations, and analyze energy and water processes
Satellite-based data: HOAPS, CERES, ISCCP, and SRB
Models: GLDAS
Other data: GPCP2, GRACE, AIRS, MODIS, SSM/I
Study Particulars: EOS satellite era ( ), and legend data sets ( )
NEWS linkages: (pull, push, collaborate, external)

Major Result to go in lower left side: Figures should not be too complex or busy – this example is probably the limit of acceptable complexity.
