EOS Validation ProgramOS Science Data Validation WorkshopNASA Goddard Space Flight Center PURPOSE:A key to the successful validation of EOS science data will be to maximize the community involvement and scientific productivity of these efforts. Coordination of activities within EOS will be highly beneficial as will formation of active partnerships between instrument science teams (IST) and with interdisciplinary science (IDS) investigations, as well as with other non-EOS programs (MTPE or non-NASA). Therefore, the principal objectives of the Validation Workshop are to communicate and discuss EOS Validation Plans, to coordinate planned validation activities among the various teams, to facilitate the formation of appropriate partnerships and, very importantly, to fully engage the IDS teams in planned validation activities. Even though the IDS Teams are not charged with submitting a Validation Plan per se, many of the IDS studies and the associated ancillary data will be extremely valuable for validation of EOS data products. Similarly, instrument team field activities to collect validation data will provide unique opportunities for coordinated science investigations by the IDS Teams.
