Abstract:

JASON has now conducted two studies on the use of small satellites and remotely-piloted aircraft RPAs in global change research, with special reference to the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement ARM program and to DARPAs Small Satellite program. The studies centered around meetings, one in January and the other in June, 1991, to which we invited representatives of all areas of the global change program and of the DOD satellite science and technology community. We have already issued a report on the January study. Here we summarize the main themes and results of our Summer Study the full report will be issued shortly.
