Session ID#: 13816

Session Description:
The validation of satellite-derived terrestrial observations has perennially faced the challenge of finding a consistent set of in-situ measurements that can both cover a wide range of surface conditions and provide timely and traceable product accuracy and uncertainty information. The Land Product Validation (LPV) sub-group of the CEOS Working Group on Calibration and Validation (WGCV) aims to address the challenges associated with the validation of global land products.

This session will offer scientists the opportunity to showcase recent validation efforts covering the following measurements: (1) Snow Cover, (2) Surface Albedo, (3) Land Cover, (4) Leaf Area Index, (5) Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation, (6) Active Fires, (7) Soil Moisture; (8) Above-Ground Biomass; (8) Land Surface Temperature; (9) Phenology, and (10) Vegetation Indexes.

A primary focus will be on global accuracy assesment and intercomparison activities, and the establishment of consensus guidelines for in-situ measurements and derived products: http://lpvs.gsfc.nasa.gov/.
