A Plan for a New Science Initiative on the Global Water Cycle. Final report (dtd 2001) from the Water Cycle Study Group (WCSG), chaired by George Hornberger of the University of Virginia. The group was appointed in late 1999 to advise the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) agencies on the development of a Global Water Cycle Program within the USGCRP. The Plan describes the rationale for an enhanced scientific research effort on the global water cycle over the next decade and poses three key science questions -- about water-cycle variability, about prediction, and about links with ecosystem processes.

Document (dtd March 2001) from the US National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), Committee on Environment and Natural Resources (CENR), Subcommittee on Global Change Research (SGCR), Data and Information Working Group. This fourth of a series of yearly publications represents another important step in the interagency process of making data and information related to the Global Change Research Program available. One of this publication's objectives is to provide this diverse user community with a concise summary of what data has been cataloged and made newly available each year.
