LEO / early morning : anticipated gap after DMSP expected deployment of a FY-3 satellite
LEO / p.m. orbit : risk of gap between SNPP and JPSS GEO: South America coverage after GOES-12 LEO/ERB: to be confirmed (FY3/ERM, JPSS/CERES) Atmospheric composition: limb sounding ? Radio-occultation: threats on COSMIC-2 funding (late 2015 & 2018)
Other «gaps» raised by WMO Exec.Council (See WP14) GPM follow-on GEO hyperspectral sounding Space Weather

Updating and assessing the list of main risks
Discuss actions/recommendations to mitigate the risk: Advocacy for no-gap planning Alternative mission planning Improved access to or use of, existing/planned alternative sources Communication to users ….
