For the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) program, identify its primary mission and list the four main panels that contribute to its objectives. Briefly describe what the 'seven Imperatives' represent for the program.
Navigate to the 'Core Projects' section of the WCRP website. Click on the 'Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX)' link. Identify the primary mission statement of the GEWEX program. Locate and name the four panels that help achieve GEWEX's objectives. Find the description of the 'seven Imperatives' and state what they represent for the program.
State that GEWEX is dedicated to understanding Earth’s water cycle and energy fluxes at and below the surface and in the atmosphere. Name the four panels: Global Land-Atmosphere System Studies (GLASS) Panel, Global Atmospheric System Studies (GASS) Panel, GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP), and GEWEX Data and Analysis Panel (GDAP). Explain that the 'seven Imperatives' represent key areas where GEWEX focuses its efforts to advance water and energy cycle science.
