Understanding exactly how and why there are differences m temperature trends reported by several analysis teams usung differing observation systems and analysis methods represents a necessary step m reducing the umcertamlies that underlie current efforts focused on the detection and quan6fica60n of surface and tropospheric temperature trends. Consequently, this synthesis and assessment product promises to be of significant value to decisionmakers, and to the expert scientific and stakeholder communities.

If the CCSP Interagency Committee determines that further revision is necessary, their comments will be sent to the lead agency for consideration and resolution by lead authors. If needed, the NRC will be asked to provide additional scientific analysis to bound scientific uncertainty associated with specific issues.
