Collating SOLAS (Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study) data: beyond stewardship

Our SOLAS integration project (www.bodc.ac.uk/solas_integration) is working with the relevant communities at the national and international level to realise this aim, co-funded by NERC and the ESF/EU COST programme Over the past 2 years, the SOLAS Project Integrator (Dr Tom Bell) has interacted not only with measurers, data managers and modellers, but also the ultimate users of end-products – policy makers and the public, who need to know how the dynamic Earth system will respond to global warming.
