摘要
Understanding the mechanisms which control the natural stability and variability of the climate system, and which dictate how man's activities might modify the climate balance, is one of the most challenging and difficult, yet critically important problems facing us today. GERB(1) (Harries and Crommelynck, 1998), flying on EUMETSAT's MSG(2) satellite will provide an exciting new source of accurate, high temporal resolution climatic information for use by the scientific community. In this paper, we give a broad overview of the characteristics of GERB and the motivation behind its development in terms of the scientific issues that we hope to use the data to address. Particular emphasis is placed on the potential to combine GERB measurements with those available from other satellite and ground based observing systems in order to obtain a more complete representation of the climate system. Details of the location and type of scientific products that will be available for general use are also provided.
