In days of constricting budgets, carefully identifying the most critical existing or potential measurements requires new tools and methodology. This panel will discuss priorities for data and methods for determining the most cost effective method for obtaining them. Instrumentation choices, development of requirements, accuracy and geographic coverage will be addressed.
