Suggestion on the validation of remote sensing products, intercomparison of sensors and rules to establish a long term data set
Résumé
This abstract is by essence short. The idea of the oral presentation is to propose a presentation to fuel discussion on the establishment of a long term reliable climatic data sets. The topics covered will be based on practical examples with description of pro and cons and whenever it exists the different approaches. 1 - the first topic will be how to establish a fool proof and accepted by all reference data together with how to maintain its integrity and QC 2 the second topic is on the interacomparison intercalibration of different data sets 3 finally the lats point will be a discussion on how to merge efficiently data sets in relation with their potential uses. We are fully aware that for many the topic has been intensively covered and could be considered as closed, but feed back from the community shows that thi is not always the case. It is also felt that alternative approaches could be at least investigated. The presentation should foster discussions...
