To accomplish this goal, the Global Terrestrial Observing System defined 'essential climate variables' as measurements of atmosphere, oceans, and land that are technically and economically feasible for systematic observation and that are needed to meet the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and requirements of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The following are the climate variables defined by the Global Terrestrial Observing System that relate to terrestrial measurements. Several of them are currently measured most appropriately by in-place observations, whereas others are suitable for measurement by remote sensing technologies. The U.S. Geological Survey is the steward of the Landsat archive, satellite imagery collected from 1972 to the present, that provides a potential basis for deriving long-term, global-scale, accurate, timely and consistent measurements of many of these essential climate variables.", "description": "60.0 x 55.0 inches", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "author": [{"@type": "Person", "name": "Josberger, Edward", "givenName": "Edward", "familyName": "Josberger"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Dwyer, John", "givenName": "John", "familyName": "Dwyer"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Dye, Dennis", "givenName": "Dennis", "familyName": "Dye"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Stitt, Susan susan_stitt@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Susan", "familyName": "Stitt", "email": "susan_stitt@usgs.gov"}], "funder": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/eros"}, {"@type": "Organization", "name": "Rocky Mountain Geographic Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/regions/rocky-mountain"}]}
