... describe the historic trend in the status of each system over the past decade, and contemplated events that may change that trend over the near-term future, and analyze the implications of such trends for documenting climate change and attributing causation; 4) identify changes in the end-to-end observing system structure including operations, data processing, and data access that could affect the systems capability for documenting climate variability and secular trends, or analyzing human attribution; and 5)
