20TH GHRSST INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE TEAM MEETING (G-XX)

The 20^th GHRSST International Science Team Meeting (G-XX) was hosted by ESA at ESRIN in Frascati, Italy, from 3^rd to 7^th June 2019.2019 was marking the 20^th meeting of the GHRSST International Science Team (G-XX) and was a great opportunity to have a forward-looking meeting focusing on innovation and challenges to develop the future perspective for GHRSST – most notably with respect to the mix of microwave and thermal infrared satellite capability.The purpose of the meeting was to:

• Bring together scientific and operational SST users and producers to review progress and achievements of SST science and applications within the GHRSST framework;
• Forward-look towards future innovation and challenges for GHRSST and the SST community over the next 20 years;
• Be Open to everybody but especially to SST experts and the international community actively involved in SST science and applications;
• Use plenary discussions and keynote talks to tackle specific issues, as well as poster sessions/interactive presentations to promote further discussions.
