Ensuring the climate record from the NPOESS and GOES-R spacecraft: elements of a strategy to recover measurement capabilities lost in program restructuring

This book is based on information gathered at a June 2007 workshop, 'Options to Ensure the Climate Record from the NPOESS and GOES-R Spacecraft.'
