2012 Science Definition Team Meeting
March 14-16, 2012Arlington, Virginia USA
In mid-March 2012, the PACE Science Definition Team (SDT) held its second community workshop in Arlington, VA. In addition to reviewing outcomes from the previous meeting (Nov 2011), the outline and schedule for the SDT report was addressed. Information exchanges between the SDT and PACE Engineering Team were a key focus of the meeting. In addition, disciplinary groups (oceans, atmosphere) discussed relevant sections of the SDT report, including reviews of completeness and science traceability. The workshop concluded with formalizing and assigning action items needed for the final SDT report (which was completed in October 2012).
