Partnerships

NASA partners with U.S. agencies to promote operational implementation of research and development capabilities and results as deemed beneficial in support of user needs. It also engages the international ocean science community in developing and advancing priority science questions, articulating observing requirements, pursuing partnerships in space-based sensor development and measurement capabilities, and in in situ program planning and development, particularly vicarious calibration and data product validation activities.
