The DUE GlobVapour project started on 01 December 2009 followed by its first Meeting on 15 March 2010 reviewing the requirements baseline and the technical specifications. Its main objective is to provide long-term coherent water vapour data sets exploiting the synergic capabilities of different EO (ESA and non-ESA) missions allowing for improved accuracies and enhanced temporal and spatial sampling better than those provided by the single sources. It is envisaged that successful concepts from the project can ensure a sustainable provision of the data. The project’s scientific set-up and progress is closely attended by the User Group.
