2015 GLM Annual Science Team Meeting:Cal/Val Tools Developers Forum

NSSTC Room 10109-11 September, 2015

National Space Science and Technology Center

The University of Alabama in Huntsville320 Sparkman Dr.

Huntsville, AL 35805

The 2016 GLM Science Team Meeting is a Cal/Val Tools Developers Forum where the GLM Algorithm Working Group (AWG) and Calibration Working Group (CWG) Post Launch Test teams can share tools they have developed to help the teams build team capacity, competency, and proficiency in using team/community tools that will allow us to assess GLM on orbit performance.

We encourage participation by the GLM Cal/Val teams and their students who will have a direct hands-on role in the analyses.
