  1. WGCV Work Plan Actions • K. . Thome • NASA • WGCV Plenary # 43 • INPE, Sao Jose dos Campos • April 10-13, 2018

  2. A CEOS Workplan is developed each year by the CEOS CEO Under direction of the CEOS Chair Consultation with SIT Chair, SEC, WGs, VCs, Ad Hoc Teams, SEO, CEOS Agencies at large, and external stakeholders Near-term objectives and deliverables to achieve goals outlined in CEOS Strategic Guidance document Current document Description of CEOS activities for 2018 calendar year Summarize anticipated activities for 2019-2020 Based on results of discussions from 31st CEOS Plenary Meeting held in Rapid City in 2017 Results in actions at the WGCV level that can flow to the subgroups

  3. Future Data Architecture Focus in 2018 on five core areas CEOS Analysis Ready Data Interoperable free and open tools Data, processing, and architecture standards Analytical processing capabilities User Metrics

  4. Future Data Architecture

  5. CEOS Work Plan - Progress implementation of the CEOS Strategy for Carbon Observations from Space Targeted initiatives to advance to implementation of the CEOS Strategy for Carbon Observations from Space CARB objectives/deliverables proposed over the 2018-2030 period COMPLETED Q2 2018 – Will be updated as such in CEOS Deliverables site

  6. WGCV continue to evaluate and recommend best practices for characterization/calibration of satellite-based sensors and validation of satellite-based Earth observation data products Provide tools to allow users to assess ARD quality beginning with defining and quantifying uncertainties for surface reflectance product validation at continental scales Develop a set of standards for CO2 and CH4 products that are suitable for intercomparisons across multiple missions Develop an initial set of guidance for biomass product validation using near-term missions such as NISAR, GEDI, and BIOMASS Ensuring results are readily available through a significant update to the CEOS Cal/Val portal and the WGCV web site within the CEOS interface Coordinate the development of suitable methodologies for the on-ground characterization of satellite-based EO sensors, the on-orbit calibration of EO missions, and the validation of satellite-based Level 1 and Level 2 products.

  10. Effort to develop a recommendation for a GSICS/CEOS solar spectrum that ensures interoperability is nearing completion Level-1 top-of-atmosphere interoperability study is underway making use of lessons learned from the MRI activities and will be a link towards the quantification of surface reflectance uncertainties WGCV will continue working with the GEO Secretariat Encourage widespread adoption of quality assurance principles Develop calibration infrastructure and comparison campaigns within frame of WGCV to promote these principles & practices Cooperation with WGs, VCs WMO, ground-based networks, Reach out to the science users and data product providers in the Atmosphere, Terrestrial, and Ocean communities Continue cooperation with GEO, Global Space-based Inter-calibration System (GSICS), and WMO and ground-based networks in the provision of high quality EO data products.

  11. Capacity Building, Data Access, Availability and Quality

  12. Advancement of the CEOS Virtual Constellations Characterize the Virtual Constellations in the context of both the development of the space segment for GEOSS and of the multitude of outcomes and deliverables that CEOS seeks to provide for GEO and other users and framework
