“For most things we need multi-instrument, multiplatform, and
multi-program data records that get knitted together with continuity
wherever possible with exchanges for testing and running data through
each other's algorithms, mutually supportive calibration and validation
over the lifetime of the missions, and getting the complementary aspects
of in-situ and satellite data. And no one nation, no one organization can
do that. So interagency and international cooperation is utterly critical to
what we do.”
