Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)

Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia, INMet, Brazil
On July 31, 2003 the Earth Observation Summit was held at Washington, USA, with the goal of promoting the development of a
comprehensive, coordinated, and sustained Earth observation system or systems among governments and the international community to
understand and address global environmental and economic challenges. As an immediate result, an ad hoc Group on Earth Observations
(GEO) was established to prepare a 10-year implementation plan for building such challenging system of systems. In this presentation
we shall summarize the concepts and goals of this initiative and the main achievements of the GEO so far
.
