BACKGROUND: • Support ITU-Recs 515 , 1028 & 1029 • 2) Follow ITU rules (7C….WRC) • 3) Cooperate as an international scientific • working group for EESS (passive) needs
NEXTSTEPS : • SPIE MEETINGS • IGARSS’ MEETINGS • ITWG MEETINGS • SFCG • ITU-R 7C • WMO FREQUENCY GROUP
Petition for Protection of 23.6 – 24 GHz & other microwave bands for Passive Environmental Remote Sensing http://guy.rochard.free.fr/meteo/ http://guy.rochard.free.fr/meteo/fichiers/petition.doc Guy.Rochard@meteo.fr Common scientific position about the protection of microwave bands for Passive Environmental Remote Sensing
It’s time to push more the EESS community to express and justify clearly the needs. The people contacted for « the petition » could, with other experts sharing the same views, become a working group by correspondance. However, to restart the work, a meeting in USA next spring will put those people together an really restart to work and conclude a report before WRC 07.
SFCG ACTION ITEM No. 24-3-1 SUBJECT: Update of EESS Passive Band Requirements ACTION TO BE TAKEN: 1.) The responsible person and contributors will work together to convene a workshop with passive remote sensing scientists and remote sensing spectrum managers in the spring of 2005 in order to reach agreement on the frequency bands and required radiometer sensitivities 2.) SFCG members are to take the results of the workshop and provide the updated requirements for spaceborne passive sensors, along with accompanying scientific justification and technical feasibility, and input them to SFCG-25 RESPONSIBLE PERSON: Guy Rochard (ITWG) CONTRIBUTORS: D. McGinnis (NOAA) K. Maeda (JAXA) J. Zuzek (NASA) E. Marelli (ESA) M.Dreis (EUMETSAT) , R.Wolf (EUMETSAT) M.Vasiliev (RASA) Z.Sun (CMA) DUE DATE: Workshop middle of spring 2005 and inputs to SFCG by august 2005.
