Scientists from Japan, Europe, and the United States met at the International Water Cycle Workshop, in Seattle, Washington, last summer. The goals of this workshop were to review a draft implementation of the water cycle component to the Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS), and to develop a companion “water cycle road map” that would provide specific actions and timetables for its implementation. This meeting was an outcome of the 10th U.S.‐Japan Workshop on Global Change, Climate and Water, held in Irvine, California, in January 2003, and the Group of Eight (G‐8) Earth Observing Summits I and II. The meeting was timed to align with the G‐8 GEOSS Implementation Plan expert review period (15 July to 25 August 2004).
