Subject: new WDC for Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere

On behalf of the ICSU Panel on World Data Centers, I am pleased to announce the
establishment of the WDC for Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere in
Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.  The center, which is directed by Michael Bittner,
offers many scientifically valuable atmospheric data products, mainly based on
satellite remote sensing.  These include information on aerosols and trace
gases, clouds, evaporation over the oceans, precipitation, and meteorological
parameters.  Please join me in welcoming the new center.

Regards,  Anne
