Frances Boler, P. I. of the ACCESS (Advancing Collaborative Connections for Earth System Science) project "Discovery and Delivery of Space Geodetic Data Products from Distributed Archives" reports the development of a new QA (Quality Assurance) product that can lead to improved accuracy of geodetic analyses and ultimately to an improved ITRF (International Terrestrial Reference Frame). The ITRF, an essential component for monitoring global change, is required for the accurate detection and monitoring of sea level change, the distribution of terrestrial water and atmospheric water vapor and other global-change related processes.

MEaSUREs PI Dr Richard McPeters announces a new long-term multi-sensor ozone ESDR (Earth Science Data Record), a unified ozone time series usable for trend analysis, is now available to users from the GSFC (Goddard Space Flight Center) GES DISC (Goddard Earth Science Data and Information Services Center).

The doors are open on NASA's Suomi NPP satellite and the newest version of the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument is scanning Earth for the first time, helping to assure continued availability of measurements of the energy leaving the Earth-atmosphere system.
