Abstract
The objective of this investigation is to enable
scientists to conduct comparative analyses of geophysical
and biophysical information derived from remotely
sensed data with in situ measurements collected over
the network of EOS Land Product Validation (http://landval.gsfc.nasa.gov/MODIS)
and Validation of Land European Remote sensing Instruments
(VALERI, http://147.100.0.5/valeri//) study sites.
This activity has been recommended by the Committee
on Earth Observing Satellites (CEOS) Working Groups
on Calibration and Validation (WGCV) and Information
Systems and Services (WGISS).
The project will work with DMC to specify a two-week
window over key EOS or VALERI sites corresponding
to intensive field campaigns. The DMC data will be
complimented by some combination of field data, ~1m
spatial resolution commercial imagery, and ~30m resolution
imagery (such as TM, ETM+, ASTER, or SPOT HRV). |
