From page 1...
... This report recognizes current plans within the climate variability element but recommends additional research topics that can strengthen the long-term research goals of USGCRP. These additional topics include enhanced understanding of linkages in variability of global and regional hydrologic systems as the basis for producing improved predictions.

From page 2...
... The strategies should address multiple needs, ranging from the detection of change to process studies to operational applications. Future planning for remote sensing and ground-based measurement networks should be integrated to give measurement strategies that are responsive to the priorities discussed above.
