Satellite-based climate studies necessarily require multi-decadal time series merging the observational records of multiple like instruments. The unparalleled capabilities of NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS) fleet, including multispectral imagery, infrared and microwave sounding, and broadband fluxes, have enabled advanced geophysical retrieval datasets that now constitute key climate data records (CDRs) spanning multiple decades. The EOS fleet, however, is nearing mission end-of-life. The new generation of operational weather satellites, including the U.S.’s joint NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP and NOAA JPSS series (NOAA-20/21), provide a logical pathway for extending many of the climate data records begun by EOS, and the advanced geostationary imagers (e.g., GOES-16/17/18) enable extension of imager data records into the diurnal time domain. Indeed, many CDRs already blend observations from NASA EOS and NOAA operational satellites to extend duration and temporal sampling. Moreover, parallel efforts towards continuity climate products are under development that exploit a host of international operational satellite assets. This topic seeks submissions from the instrument and algorithm teams focused on generating continuity climate data records across multiple platforms and the scientific community using those products for climate (and related) studies.
