Joint Meeting of Ocean Sciences and Surface Water Hydrology in Support of

(1) Writing of Meeting Report, leading to publishable manuscript, on the consensus of science thrusts, science requirements, mission orbits, data requirements, and participating agencies.

(2) Fall AGU Wide-Swath Session; opportunity for further discussions with much broader community.

(3) Determine next meeting. Should it be timed with funding opportunity, or with need for very broad community support, or during an international meeting?

According to the MetroRail web page, it appears that you should take the blue line from DCA to Rosslyn Station.

Washington Dulles International (airport code IAD)
