Workshop Topics
- Exchange and harmonisation of parameter retrieval schemes
- Mission calibration and data validation plans and philosophy for data quality assurance and uncertainty quantification
- Harmonisation of data formats and –products and their possible standardization
- Harmonisation of atmospheric and topographic correction schemes/procedures
- Harmonisation of pre-flight characterisation and in-flight cross-calibration of international missions
- International joint airborne/field deployments/campaigns, especially large region and time series
- Coordination of data acquisition plans, including by means of orbital phasing of international missions for improved revisit/coverage and establishment of longer time series
- Potential synergies with other current and future space-based systems (e.g. US Landsat and the Copernicus Sentinels)
- Consistency of product retrievals to facilitate constraint and validation of regional to global climate and hydro-climate modelling
- Coordination of research and training activities.
