  1. DA-06-02 Progress • The First GEO-CEOS Workshop on Cal/Val was held in October 2007 (sponsored by GEO and ESA), issues addressed: cal/val site characterization, classification, data access, methodology and guidelines and harmonization. The second workshop will be held in May at NIST. • The CEOS Cal/val portal (ESA contribution) has been established at http://calvalportal.ceos.org, as the first step towards harmonization.

  2. GEO-CEOS CalVal Workshop Geneva – October 2007

  3. DA-06-02 Progress • To complement the Cal/Val portal, two pilot projects were initiated: • Harmonize coincident measurements from MODIS, AVHRR, and ATSR (using Hyperion to resolve spectral effects); • Collaborate on the on-orbit SI traceable benchmark missions: TRUTHS and CLARREO. • A third project (in progress) uses Antarctic Plateau (near Dome C) to cross check the consistency of satellite measurements. • Hyperion data acquired. MODIS and AVHRR analysis in progress. Mid-resolution data are being collected by LSI constellation members • Antarctic plateau also provides highly accurate calibration transfer for satellite pairs with simultaneous nadir overpass (SNO)

  6. DA-06-02 Progress WGCV members are participating in an effort to identify prototypical common Cal/Val sites to be used by space agencies and value-added data providers to perform consistency checks at their own discretion. The potential uses of the Antarctic Dome C site for cross comparison of visible/near infrared instruments, as well as selected infrared and microwave instruments are currently being investigated. Major advantages of this site include long-term stability, relative uniformity, low aerosol loading, dry atmosphere, low cloud cover, more frequent satellite overpass, and unique geographic location. The occurrence of simultaneous nadir overpass at this site for certain satellite pairs can facilitate highly accurate radiometric calibration transfer between satellites. Analysis of satellite observations of the Dome C site from AVHRR, MODIS, Hyperion, AMSR-E, and other instruments are presented to investigate the feasibility of using this site for intercomparison. Satellite observations are also compared to ground measurements to characterize the effect of BRDF (bidirectional reflectance distribution function). The findings suggest that the site is relatively stable and has relatively low radiometric uncertainty. It serves as a good candidate for CEOS endorsed cal/val site for the intercomparison of satellite measurements.

  7. DA-06-02 Progress • As a workshop recommendation, a CEOS WGCV standards technical committee is being formed to address standards issues, initially focusing on the CEOS endorsed cal/val sites and on-orbit radiometric reference standards, as well as coordination with external standards bodies (IEEE, OGC, CCSDS, ISO, …). • A CEOS standards handbook will be developed to document CEOS standards and recommendations. • Details to be discussed at the upcoming WGCV/WGISS joint meeting in Sanya, China Standard solar spectral irradiance for intercomparison Establish lunar standard for longterm radiometric stability

  17. IGARSS-2008 Invited Paper THE CEOS CALVAL PORTAL: PATHWAY TO GEOSS DATA COMPARABILITY TOWARD CONSISTENT CALIBRATION USING COMMON PRACTICES AND CALVAL SITES Changyong Cao1, Stephen Ungar2, Pascal Lecomte3, Xiaoxiong Xiong2, Xiwu Zhan1, Petya Campbell2,4 1NOAA/NESDIS/ORA, 2NASA/GSFC, 3ESA/ESRIN, 4UMBC Abstract A significant challenge for the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) interoperability is the lack of consistency in calibration of earth observations from satellites developed and operated by different space agencies worldwide. Many Earth observing satellite instruments are calibrated independently with different methodologies and calibration/validation sites. The potential for significant discrepancies exists across satellites and programs. As the space segment of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Working Group on Calibration and Validation (WGCV) is providing information and data for Calibration (Cal) and Validation (Val) of Earth Observation (EO) data through the GEO/CEOS CalVal Portal (calvalportal.ceos.org) to promote common cal/val “best” practices as well as to provide a repository for data from community endorsed common cal/val sites.

  18. IGARSS-2008 Invited Paper This portal is being developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) to support worldwide activities on calibration and validation, and specifically ensure that sensor intercalibration is favored in a standardized way. ESA’s specific goal is to increase measurement accuracy of all the sensors which will be supported by this system, so that the GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) program can be served with the best information products available. Currently the portal is dedicated to calibration of Infrared and Visible Optical Sensors (IVOS). It is frequently updated and will be further extended to other instruments as well as to validation in future releases. Efficient use of EO data relies on multi source data access, interoperability, long-term data preservation, and definition standards. Calibration and validation are two essential steps for the correct use and understanding of the EO data. The CalVal Portal is dedicated to ease and strengthen the calibration process and therefore will increase the comparability of similar instruments data.

  19. IGARSS-2008 Invited Paper Several members of the WGCV are participating in a joint effort to identify prototypical common cal/val sites which can be used by space agencies and value-added data providers to perform consistency checks at their own discretion. In a current study, the potential uses of the Antarctic Dome C site for cross comparison of visible/near infrared instruments, as well as selected infrared and microwave instruments are investigated. Major advantages of this site include long-term stability, relative uniformity, low aerosol loading, dry atmosphere, low cloud cover, more frequent satellite overpass, and unique geographic location. In addition, simultaneous nadir overpass (SNO) also occurs at this site for certain satellite pairs, which can provide highly accurate radiometric calibration transfer between satellites. Analysis of satellite observations of the Dome C site from AVHRR, MODIS, Hyperion, AMSR-E, and other instruments are presented to investigate the feasibility of using this site for intercomparison. Satellite observations are also compared to ground measurements to characterize the effect of BRDF (bidirectional reflectance distribution function). The findings suggest that the site is relatively stable and has relatively low radiometric uncertainty. It serves as a good candidate for CEOS endorsed cal/val site for the intercomparison of satellite measurements.
