You have been on the panel to discuss the precision and accuracy facets of the TEMPO and correlative (not only lidar) measurements in a validation context.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I realize you are immersed in the NDACC meeting on Tuesday and Thursday, but if you could attend the TEMPO validation session on Wednesday 13:45 EDT (10:45 Wrightwood time), I'd be very grateful.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The format is for the panelists to present 1 or 2 slides in 5 minutes to establish a particular facet of the validation process. We do not expect to define the entire valodation plan in 1 hour, only to set the landscape for a subsequent process in monthly telecons to write the plan.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Even if you are unable to produce your 1 or 2 slides at this time, we would still request your participation in the discussion.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Judy,</div><div dir="auto">Please send Thierry a meeting invitation.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks,</div><div id="composer_signature" dir="auto">Mike and Ron</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="auto" style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"></div><div style="font-size:100%;color:#000000" dir="auto"></div><div align="left" dir="auto" style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Mike Newchurch <mike.newchurch@gmail.com> </div><div>Date: 5/25/21 18:48 (GMT-06:00) </div><div>To: Jim Szykman <james.j.szykman@nasa.gov>, Tom Moore <tmoore@westar.org>, "John T.

Barry will summarize campaign activities related to TEMPO. We will then have 30 minutes to discuss all of these plans and concerns. We want to emphasize the discussion portion and want to hear your thoughts and ideas about what everyone is thinking.</div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Two desired outcomes are:</div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">1. Determine which 3 Pandora sites will constitute the 'contractual validation effort" and on what schedule. This discussion should be quite short.</div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">2. Establish a process (monthly telecons?) to establish concrete plans for discrete observations and anticipated schedules for all correlated observations and how those observations will contribute to understanding TEMPO performance with validation metrics. This discussion will be the beginning of a year-long planning process. </div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Several of you have contributed ideas and questions about the validation plan. And, there are many more parties interested in being involved with the validation efforts than we can accomodate in this session. These additional parties include some of the Early Adopters and some of the Green Paper investigators. Feel free to represent any other folks who you know have an interest and we will broaden the spectrum in the subsequent planning telecons. This session is our opportunity to synthesize a coordinated approach to planning this effort.</div><div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">It would be helpful if you could send your 1 or 2 slides to me by May 28 (this friday, long weekend), in preparation for the TEMPO meeting next Wednesday (you'll get an invitation to the meeting).</div></div><div><br></div><span style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Meeting info site:<br><a href="https://meeting-info.org/tempo-stm2021/">https://meeting-info.org/tempo-stm2021/</a></span><div><br><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Thanks,</div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" class="gmail_signature" dir="ltr">Mike <span style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">and Ron</span></div></div></div>
