... from empirical and diagnostic studies, data assimilation systems, and climate prediction models as well as analysis products and information from the applications and human dimensions sectors involved in GOALS. Each of the elements of GOALS will generate large multivariate data sets that are potentially useful to a sizable community of researchers.

From page 52...
... Data management structures already exist under the auspices of WCRP on the federal agencies that launch and operate satellites and that routinely process, archive, and distribute the satellite data. The panel recommends that GOALS work with the USGCRP, the World Data Centers, federal satellite agencies, and WCRP data management structures to minimize redundancies and costs and to maximize data distribution in order to promote efficiency in data availability for research and applications.
