ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This work would not have been possible without the collaboration of all SL-TAC members. The authors sincerely thank
:hem for their daily commitment, their seriousness and their enthusiasm to develop and improve products quality.
Authors particularly thank Stephanie Dupuy, Pascal Mambert, and Daoud Jahdou who has ensured the operational
maintenance of the DUACS system and has implemented several evolutions with support from Marie-Helene De Launay.
Thanks also to Guillaume Taburet who has coordinated the REP/DT production and has ensured a regular update of these
products. Authors also thank Antonio Sänchez-Romän who has actively contributed to the qualification of SL-TAC
products.
Thanks to Francoise Mertz and Cathy Schgounn for the service desk and their contribution to different documentations.
Authors also thanks Vinca Rosmorduc for her promotion of SL-TAC products through different trainings. Thanks to
Maxime Ballarotta, Oscar Vergara, Pierre Prandi, Quentin Dagneaux, Chloe Durand, Gwenola Maillard, Jean-Francois
Legeais who have participated in many studies leading to the evolution and qualification of the SL-TAC products. Finally,
authors also thank the different space agencies, CNES, EUMETSAT, ESA, NOAA, ISRO and NSOAS, that have ensured the
operational upstream data delivery necessary to the SL-TAC production.
