Low-Cost Long-Term Monitoring of Global Climate Forcings and Feedbacks

  • Chapter
Long-Term Climate Monitoring by the Global Climate Observing System

Abstract

We describe the rationale for long-term monitoring of global climate forcings and radiative feedbacks as a contribution to interpretation of long-term global temperature change. Our discussion is based on a more detailed study and workshop report (Hansen et al., 1993b). We focus on the potential contribution of a proposed series of inexpensive small satellites, but we discuss also the need for complementary climate process studies and ground-based measurements. Some of these measurements could be made inexpensively by students, providing both valuable climate data and science educational experience.
