This document represents an update to the Implementation Plan for the Sustained and Coordinated Processing of Environmental Satellite Data for Climate Monitoring (SCOPECM) Version 1.3 of 20 March 2009 [RD-01]. Phase 2 of SCOPE-CM incorporates accomplishments and lessons learned from Phase 1, updated requirements and guidelines from the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), and the evolving needs for climate information by a variety of users. A key component of Phase 2 is the establishment of sustained production of fundamental climate data records (FCDRs) as well as Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) satellite products (also referred to as thematic climate data records or TCDRs). Section 2 provides an introduction and background information for SCOPE-CM, Section 3 describes the approach and the governance for second phase. Specific tasks for the implementation of the network structure and the early operations are defined in Section 4. In Annexes, this document provides the updated ToR of the Executive Panel and recalls the GCOS Climate Monitoring Principles as well as the GCOS guideline for CDR generation
