The Atmospheric eXploration and Investigative Synergy (AXIS) Group: proposal for a new interdisciplinary NASA Assessment/Analysis Group (AG)
This group would curate a database of atmospheric data, including both observational data and derived data in the form of retrieved atmospheric parameters, as well as atmospheric model inputs and outputs. It would also serve as a sort of “Town Hall” for comparative planetology research, discussion, and planning of mission and exploration roadmaps.
