The conference covered a wide range of topics related to atmospheric sounding from satellites. Key issues include:

• Use of ATOVS data (and SSM/T data).
• Applications of TOVS/ATOVS data in numerical weather prediction and production of geophysical parameters (profiles, clouds, surface characteristics) for nowcasting as well as global change research and climatology.
• Application of TOVS/ATOVS data in climate monitoring and research. Preparations for advanced infra-red and microwave sounders.
