Missions: Decadal Survey 2007
Following completion of the first decadal survey in 2007, the National Research Council (NRC) prioritized 15 satellite missions to enable NASA to provide the public with ongoing information about global climate and climate change. To comprehensively address the state of climate change, these decadal survey missions span multiple Earth science disciplines and are organized into three time-phased tiers. To learn more about the program, visit http://decadal.gsfc.nasa.gov/ and http://nasascience.nasa.gov/earth-science/decadal-surveys.
