The GHRSST-PP Science Team
The planning, management, implementation and monitoring
of all aspects of the GHRSST-PP are the responsibility of the GHRSST-PP Science Team and
Technical Advisory Groups (TAG). The team includes an international
group of experts covering satellite systems, data processing, data management,
user applications, climate scientists, operational oceanographers and meteorologists coordinated by
the GHRSST-PP International Project Office.
The GHRSST-PP Science Team meets at least once per year to review the progress of the project
and to ensure optimal use of resources in a strategic manner. It plays a particularly
important role in the following areas:
- Reviewing the evolution of GHRSST-PP objectives/goals,
maintenance of the GHRSST-PP Strategic Plan and, GHRSST-PP
Implementation Plan;
- Coordination of the international consortium that will undertake
the development and implementation of the GHRSST-PP, including its final
transition into an operational system;
- Providing advice and guidance on scientific and technical
innovations relevant to the GHRSST-PP;
- Providing a formal body that can liase and interact with national
agencies in order to implement the GHRSST-PP;
As stated in the consensus statement of The Ocean Observing System for the 21st Century
(Smith and Koblinsky, 2002), the GHRSST-PP Science Team has the
implementation oversight for the high resolution SST analysis network
component of an integrated global observation strategy The GHRSST-PP
constitutes the first step towards such an integrated system of SST
measurements.
