3. ID-03 Science and Technology in GEOSS C1 Engaging the Science and Technology (S&T) Community in GEOSS Implementation Strategic Target 4: This will be achieved through: • promotion of research and development in key areas of Earth sciences to facilitate, on an ongoing basis, improvements to Earth observation systems; • research and development for models, data assimilation modules and new or improved algorithms for global and regional services and products; • encouraging and facilitating the transition of systems and techniques from research to operations by fostering collaboration and partnership between the operational and research communities; • provision for sensor validation and verification so resource managers and industry can ensure sensors being developed are ready for operational use over a wide variety of environmental conditions; • incorporation of science and technology outcomes that improve observing systems and observational capacity; • improving interoperability between global observing systems and modelling systems; • inclusion of societal needs in new research observing system planning and inclusion of research considerations in operational observing system planning; • life-cycle data management and optimisation, data integration and information fusion, data mining, network enhancement, and design optimisation studies, up-scaling and downscaling, and visualisation of large and diverse data sets. 3

4. ID-03 Science and Technology in GEOSS C1 Engaging the Science and Technology (S&T) Community in GEOSS Implementation Strategic Target 4: This will be demonstrated by: • Improved and new instrumentation and observation system design for in-situ, airborne, and space-based observation, benefiting from advances in science and technology. • Increased accessibility of global sets of scientific data necessary for improved Earth System modelling in the different GEO Societal Benefit Areas. • Increased accessibility of data and improved coordination and maintenance of observational systems through GEOSS are realized by the research community. The “demonstrated by” are not directly linked to ID-03 activities, which address two of the “achieved throughs.” 4

5. ID-03 Science and Technology in GEOSS C1 Engaging the Science and Technology (S&T) Community in GEOSS Implementation Five Main Activity Areas: Activity 1: Engage the science and technology community in the development of GEOSS Activity 2: Develop incentives for science and technology communities Activity 3: Establish links to major science and technology organizations and research institutions (Road Map Activity 2c "Build awareness of GEO and GEOSS in the different S&T communities, within the scope of GEOSS development"). Activity 4: Promote GEOSS in science and technology communities Activity 5: Auxiliary activities. 5
