SMAP/GPM/GRACE-FO/SWOT Joint Mission Tutorial Workshop, Reston, VA

Workshop Goals

• Identify a large target audience for multi-sensor hydrology data
• Understand user requirements for using soil moisture and other NASA data in various fields of hydrology
• Merge mission data in order to leverage research in hydrology and water management
• Identify data models and research where SMAP, GPM, GRACE-FO and SWOT can help address climate and hydrology policy questions
• Promote Early Adopter research and collaboration opportunities
