Copernicus Cal/Val Solution - D3.2 - Recommendations for R&D on Cal/Val Methods
This document presents a gap analysis of the methods used in the calibration and validation of Earth Observation satellites relevant to the Copernicus programme and suggests recommendations for the research and developments required to fulfil this gap when/where
possible.
The document identifies the gaps and limitations of the CalVal methods, used for calibration and validation (CalVal) activities for the current Copernicus missions. It will also address the development needs for future Copernicus missions. Four types of missions are covered based on the division used in the rest of the CCVS project: optical, altimetry, radar and microwave and atmospheric composition.
Finally, it will give a prioritized list of recommendations for R&D activities on the CalVal methods.
The information included is mainly collected from the deliverables of work packages 1 and 2 in the CCVS project and from the consortium experts in CalVal activities
