| Description: |
The report describes case studies that demonstrate the direct or indirect value of Earth observation satellites for climate services. The 13 case studies demonstrate the importance of satellites for preparing the climate services needed by these
communities. Satellite-based climate data records provide both a critical baseline and new input into the reanalyses that underpin climate services. |
