Historical LPV Leadership and Focus Area Leads
Note: The initial focus of LPV in 2000 was LAI, but other areas of focus were included in the early years (surface radiation, fire, land cover). However, there were no individual leads for the four initial topical areas. But it was too much for 2 people, so the LPV subgroup was expanded and recruited co-leads for each focus area to help out. This expansion began in 2006 after the idea was introduced at a meeting at the University of Montana by then Chair, Fred Baret.
