SDCG-5 Session 4Element 3 (R&D support)Intro Gene Fosnight
Element 3 – R&D support Discussion points • Data to complement core data streams • DEM alternatives – the search for the perfect DEM • Low resolution space data – where next after MODIS • High resolution space data • SAR space data • Field and airborne data • Managing temporal data • WELD
Element 3 – R&D support State of DEM • 90m SRTM version 3 (2013) • 30m ASTER GDEM version 2 (v3 2014) • V2 used 1,500,000 stereo pairs • V3 uses additional 500,000 stereo pairs • 90m WorldDEM (?) • 30 m NASADEM (2017) • Jan-Peter Muller presented “Global DEM : why do we need it, what do we need and how can we achieve these requirements” at the CEOS WGCV meeting. Good overall summary of data and data requirements
Element 3 – R&D support MODIS future alternatives for early warning of change • Sensors • MODIS • AVHRR • VIIRS • Sentinel-3 • Product continuity is key • As with Landsat, Sentinel-2 and CBERS, an intercomparable suite of calibrated products is needed to support change, which is critical for high temporal resolution data • NASA has a major funding initiative to support the development of VIIRS products compatible with MODIS products
Element 3 – R&D support Temporal data management and the state of WELD • Global WELD • http://globalmonitoring.sdstate.edu/projects/weldglobal/ • http://globalmonitoring.sdstate.edu/projects/weld/ • Temporal stacking – Weld maintains source data • Cloud compositing – explicit and well defined methodology • Importance of absolute and cross calibration • Importance of cloud and shadow detection • Importance of maintaining knowledge of time…

Web-Enabled Landsat Data –2006 - 2010 • Landsat Data from USGS archive at EROS • WELD NASA-funded development at South Dakota State University • Processed at NASA Ames Research Center using NEX • Data disseminated from NASA Land Processing DAAC at EROS • USGS evaluating best way forward for tiling and WELD-like products
Provisional WELD data distribution through NASA LPDAAC • 2010 • June 2014 • 2000 & 2005 • 4th quarter 2014 • 1985, 1990 & 1995 • unscheduled
