Project targets

This is a set of five interim targets for SABAP2. The Steering Committee of the project will revise them and refine them from time to time. This set of targets reflects the balance between breadth of coverage (widely scattered pentads covered) and depth of coverage (some pentads covered multiple times).

1. Currently, our first target is to get at least one pentad covered in 90% of the half degree grid cells and to achieve this by the end of January 2009. The half degree grid cells with no coverage to date are shaded on this map. Please make a special effort to try to visit these, because getting this target to 90% by 31 January is going to be a tough challenge

2. Our second target is to get at least one pentad covered in every one of the 2028 quarter degree grid cells in the SABAP2 area. We aim to be at 50% by the end of January 2009.

3. Our third target is get at least one third of the pentads covered in 75% of the quarter degree grid cells. We aim to be at 30% by the end of January 2009

4. Our fourth target is to get more than one checklist for 80% of the pentads which are covered.

5. Our fifth target is to get 7 or more checklists for 30% of the pentads which are covered
