SST-VC Implementation
We proposed to implement the SST-VC building on the existing Group for High Resolution SST framework
(LTSRF)
NASA SST ST Miami Nov 2011
SST-VC ImplementationUsing this approach the CEOS SST-VC has instant access to bull A baseline SST virtual constellation system of
systemsbull Internationally agreed SST products and
services (data access user support services)bull Initial consensus technical documentation for
the constellation bull A functional coordination mechanism active at
the international level (Science Team Advisory Council Project Office)

CEOS benefits in many wayshellip Strengthen CEOS Agency SST activities through better
synergy and communication Better SST product and service interoperability building
on the strengths of CEOS Agencies Facilitate better data access and product applications Provide value for money by capitalising on the investments
already committed to GHRSST Allow a rapid spin up of SST-VC activities
GHRSST benefits as wellhellip CEOS can encourage wider participation of all Agencies Direct reporting of issues and requirements to principals
Benefits of the Proposed Approach
