SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, USA 4 th -6 th September 2013 Actions Getting what we (SDCG) want – Feedback on the Space Data Services paper – Inputs for the MGD Getting what you (GFOI countries) want – Confirm points of contact – Explore requirements in more detail – Identify most urgent requirements

SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, USA 4 th -6 th September 2013 Colombia Colombian government is pursing the development of a national MRV system – IDEAM implementing Space data needs: – Semi-annual SAR wide beam modes (L, or C/X), and coarse resolution optical; – Annual wall-to-wall medium resolution (e.g. Landsat class, Landsat-8, or SAR L or C/X) data streams;

SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, USA 4 th -6 th September 2013 Peru Currently evaluating forest monitoring methodologies - in the initial design phase for a national MRV system “Medium” resolution: Landsat, SAR in specific areas High resolution: RapidEye, Quickbird, Formosat DEM: SRTM and TanDEM-X (one time)

SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, USA 4 th -6 th September 2013 Ecuador Historical baseline period Need current satellite data to fill information gaps Need support on processing chains, for both established and new data streams

SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, USA 4 th -6 th September 2013 Mexico Wall-to-wall yearly monitoring based on Landsat-8 / Sentinel-2 / Spot-6 and -7 Complete RapidEye for both rainy and dry seasons Access to high quality DEM – SRTM or TanDEM-X

SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, USA 4 th -6 th September 2013 Guyana MRV process underpins performance payments Driven to RapidEye by requirement for degradation products, as well as to address cloud cover Using airborne data for accuracy assessment Also using Landsat, but insufficient for requriements
