Worked closely with the ESA team on MIM design and content review. • Completed the Land Surface Imaging (LSI) Mid-resolution Optical Standards Document. • Added new features to the SEO Systems Database to support ISU Student Projects, Orbit Conjunction Assessments, Flood Disasters, and Climate Data Records (for WGClimate). • Developed a Data Acquisition Planning template for JECAM and conducted COVE assessments for two South America test sites. • Coordinated and staffed the annual CEOS booth at the GEO meeting. • Added new missions and features to the COVE tool. Continue to expand user base and support of CEOS initiatives (next chart ...) • Supported agency communications by maintaining the CEOS website content and mailing lists, and utilizing the new Action Tracking Tool.

  3. CEOS Visualization Environment (COVE) www.ceos-cove.org • The COVE tool, developed by the SEO offers an innovative and effective solution ... • Objectives: Satellite sensor coverage forecasts and visualization, Multi-satellite coincidence forecasts • Automated daily satellite position data from CelesTrak • Output: position, UTC time, instrument viewing angles, solar angles (inclination, azimuth, zenith), day/night status, EXCEL tables. • Features: saved states, KML and Shapefile compatibility, Joomla website, collaborative sessions, Rapid Acquisition Planning Tool • Future enhancements: expanded mission database, IPAD and IPhone applications, special projects 109 current CEOS missions50+ missions are in COVE • What satellites can be used to measure regional impacts of a disaster? • Can we reduce the time to identify and acquire data? • How can we enhance calibration-validation over ground sites or between multiple satellites ? • How can we improve public education of Earth science from space ?

  4. Who is using COVE? 2011 Summary July-17 peak at 100 visits September January The COVE tool had 1346visitsby 567unique visitors from 9 countries (70% of users are US) • Projects supported by COVE • Namibia, Africa Floods – Prototype Disaster Response Study (April 2011) • CEOS Working Group on Calibration and Validation (WGCV) annual campaigns (Toz Golu in August 2011, DOME-C in December 2011) • Data Acquisition Planning for GEO initiatives • Agriculture (JECAM) – Sept 2011 (South America growing season) • Forest Carbon Tracking (FCT and GFOI) - Future

  5. 2012 Plans • Continue to support completion of the CEOS Self Study report. • Support Carbon Task Force (CTF) by completing gap assessments of carbon parameters in atmosphere, ocean and land domains. • Support WGClimate by developing a Climate Data Record (CDR) database and supporting climate architecture development. • Support Disasters SBA team by conducting gap assessments for floods and other critical disaster events. • Support WGCV ground validation campaigns by utilizing COVE to develop data acquisition plans. • Support JECAM, FCT/GFOI and Supersites initiatives by utilizing COVE tool to develop data acquisition planning strategies. • Host several meetings: CEOS-GEO Actions Meeting (February), SIT-27 Meeting (March), SIT Workshop (TBD). • Host CEOS booths at Rio+20 Conference (June) and GEO-9 Meeting (November).
