Abstract :
This paper summarizes the observational requirements for a future Earth System Observational and Modelling capability, in terms of the observed variables, the needed precision, and the spatial-temporal resolution. Architectural approaches are discussed, including an open-systems, evolutionary, sensor-Web approach.
