Global Baseline Data Acquisition SDCG-8, Session 3 Frank Martin Seifert (ESA); Gene Fosnight (USGS) 23 Sep 2015, Bonn

Opportunities for Synergy Multi-resolution analysis – GFOI Moderate resolution for change through time High resolution to provide identification of small features Multi-stage sample designs – GFOI Moderate resolution of wall-to-wall repeat coverage High resolution for training and for validation Absolute- and cross-calibration of multiple satellite sensors – CEOS WGCV Coordinate access to commercial data that are no longer commercially viable – CEOS LSI-VC The case example the access to SPOT data at least five years old. Can CEOS serve as a advocate for coordination with Ground Stations with local Archives? Provide commercial data providers ready access to core data. Provide neutral links to commercial data providers? SDCG-8 Bonn, Germany September 23rd – 25th 2015
