2. Overview • CIOSS Introduction • STAR Organization • General Research Focus & Priorities • Changes in ORA/STAR • Connection to NOAA and NESDIS (NSIS)

3. Cooperative Institute for Oceanographic Studies (CIOSS) • Mission: To develop, improve and evaluate methods of ocean remote sensing and ocean-atmosphere modeling • Focus and research areas: Basic research in ocean, atmosphere, and marine ecosystem dynamics; applications of basic research to the management of living and non-living resources within the coastal and open oceans; contributions to ocean observing and modeling systems through the evaluation of plans for future satellite systems and models; satellite sensors and techniques; ocean-atmosphere fields and fluxes; ocean-atmosphere models and data assimilation; ocean-atmosphere analyses; outreach

4. CIOSS • 1st Competitively Awarded Cooperative Institute in NOAA • 1st CIOSS Executive Board Goals: • Focus on Science and Research Guidance • Garner comments on program progress & NOAA connectivity
