* - CERES and MODIS are expected to provide Validation Plan Summary Charts specific to the PM-1 mission (through 2002) and to be active in the PM-1 Validation Workshop. The revised full validation plans generated in response to the 1996/97 AM-1 ATBD reviews will adequately serve for PM-1 planning purposes until submission of their final updated AM-1 validation plans just prior to the launch of the AM-1 platform in June 1998. These teams will then develop their full validation plans for the PM-1 mission with final plans due just prior to launch of the PM-1 platform as with the other teams on the PM-1 platform.
