Find key information about the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) program on the WCRP website. Specifically, identify its primary mission, list the names of the four panels that support its objectives, and explain the role of its 'seven Imperatives' in guiding its activities.
Navigate directly to the WCRP 'Core Projects' page at 'https://www.wcrp-climate.org/core-projects'. Click on the 'Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX)' link. Identify and state the primary mission statement of the GEWEX program. Locate and list the names of the four panels that help achieve GEWEX's objectives. Find and explain what the 'seven Imperatives' represent for the GEWEX program's activities.
The primary mission statement of GEWEX is correctly identified as: 'dedicated to understanding Earth’s water cycle and energy fluxes at and below the surface and in the atmosphere'. All four panels are correctly named: 'Global Land-Atmosphere System Studies (GLASS) Panel', 'Global Atmospheric System Studies (GASS) Panel', 'GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP)', and 'GEWEX Data and Analysis Panel (GDAP)'. The explanation of the 'seven Imperatives' correctly states that they 'provide a detailed framework for GEWEX activities by focusing on seven areas where GEWEX can best advance water and energy cycle science'.
