Among the benefits of a Russian lander is that its surface data would provide what scientists call «ground truth» to calibrate the Europa orbiter's
remote global measurements.

The team concludes in the paper that the «high frequency and precision ground - based
remote sensing results provide the performance metric and sampling strategy for satellite - based
measurements, permitting a
global emission monitoring system.»
For example, previous
global initiatives include satellite - based chlorophyll
measurements, the Census of Marine Life, long - term observation sites, and arrays of
remote sensors on floats that provide physical, chemical, and biological data [15].
Studies of the Arctic system, connections between atmosphere and sea ice, and between the Arctic and the
global system using
remote sensing, conventional

global climate models.
«This approach of using
remote measurements to assess
global ocean acidification is a huge advance in our, traditionally constrained, observational capacity.
The answer to this lies in how the different datasets deal with having little or no data in
remote parts of the world,
measurement errors, changes in instrumentation over time and other factors that make capturing
global temperature a less - than - straightforward task.
Lots of factors make measuring
global temperature a difficult task, such as sparse data in
remote places, random
measurement errors and changes in instrumentation over time.
