The U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) has issued its Fiscal Year 2007 report to the U.S. Congress documenting the program's previous year's activities and its plans for the current year. The CCSP coordinates climate change research across 13 federal agencies and departments and oversees the creation and publication of the 21 CCSP synthesis and assessment reports, the first of which was published in April 2006. During FY2007, CCSP will focus on several areas including integrating new remotely sensed measurements of clouds and aerosols into climate prediction, acquiring a source for Landsatlike imagery, developing research and regional partnerships to help the nation cope with drought, and quantifying the North American carbon budget.
