The Fc)rward Problem
Using radiative transfer theory and relavent geophysicalvariables, model the upwelling and scattered radiance thata particular instrument should measure
Interpreters- Required to specify a base state aroundwhich the radiative transfer equation is linearized
Class 1 A priori information dependentHydrodynamic model dependent
Class 2 A priori information dependentHydrodynamic model independent
Class 3 A priori information independentHydrodynamic model independent
The Inverse Problem
Using upwelling and scattered radiances, invert theradiative transfer equation to retrieve geophysical variables

3. Lessons of history- Applications to theEOS era
3.1. We must establish long-term, global validationprograms based on the three principles Of validation
3.2. Both satellite and in situ data must be subject torigorous quality control and continuous monitoring
3.3. Extend and examine the overlap periods of similarinstruments on different satellites
3.4. Sampling of most fields must extend over severalENSO cycles, since most fields show large interannualvariability related to ENSO,
