  • Phil Jones (NOAA NCDC)
  • Karen Moe (NASA GSFC)
  • Barry Weiss (JPL)

Agenda

  • Greg Stensaas (Chair of the CEOS Cal/Val WG): "International Earth Observation Quality Assurance Efforts".
  • Preparation for the Summer EIP Meeting in Santa Fe: ESIP Summer 2011 Meeting
    • Speakers
    • Identify reps of various research and application communities for:
      • their understanding and requirements for quality
      • methodology they use to assess and quantify data quality
      • Communities: SST, Ocean color, Precipitation, Atm Chemistry, Land, Modeling, Applications (e.g., Air Quality),...

Old Action Items

  • Hook and Greg: setup a page for collecting and aliasing quality-related terms

Notes

Upload community-specific presentations/papers either to the Community portion of the web site

  • Greg Leptoukh noted that the agenda for the summer meeting breakout session is still fluid.
  • Ocean color community not able to attend
  • Invitations to NASA data quality PIs will be issued
  • AQ and Energy communities will be represented
  • Greg Stensaas, USGS & Chair of CEOS Calibration/Validation WG
  • Landsat program repsonsibilities shifting
  • continually trying to improve data accuracy
  • need to improve time series terrestrial data
  • integration of Landsat data with other data and sensors to support climate change research
  • Need calibration to improve accuracy across systems
  • requires better documentation
  • improves consistency across data sets
  • GCOS - improved definitions for Accuracy & Stability
  • better definitions for standards, processes and establish quality indicators
  • Need coordination among MANY players in the quality space
  • CEOS
  • GEOSS support for quality information for SBAs (timely, quality, long-term & global)
  • Quality Assurance Framework for Earth Observations (QA4EO) http://qa4eo.org
  • Reference standards can be test sites or a reference to a standard ("fit for purpose")
  • Definition has to be relevant to the whole suite of observations
  • October 18-20 QA4EO meeting in Oxford, England (4th meeting)
  • Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation (JACIE) - annual
  • ESA GMES quality assurance requirements
  • Preceding provides an overview of many of the quality assurance efforts going on globally
  • important to work collaboratively across the many players

Action Items

  • All: continue looking for speakers and community reps
