Stats by Sites

Accomplishments

• Provide for a user to download data subsets• Incorporate MERIS data into the WTF• Incorporate CHRIS/PROBA data into the WTF• Continue to build on infrastructure of existing

networks and validation sites• Incorporate MODIS 8-day LAI (1 km, 200x200

km2 subsets, HDF-EOS

Accomplishments

• Provide users a way to easily identify all archived MODIS and Landsat images within a user- specified time window from the baseline interface

• Added STRM & U.S. National Elevation Dataset• Revised web page layouts• Added UK-DMC data for Railroad

Valley(pending approval by DMC, Int’l Imaging)

Plans

• Incorporate Field-collected data (content varies with site, time, reduction/QA) data into the WTF (Focus on RR Valley Spectral data @Oakridge DAAC)

• Incorporate additional sites such as:

– GTOS “Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring Sites” (TEMS, etc)

– Add CEOP/NASDA, CSIRO, GT-net, and ILTERS

– A site on every continent by (i.e. Siberia, Russia/ Mongolia/ Gobi desert, China)

• Provide additional capabilities for custom processing of data

Current Site

Mongu, Zambia

Boreas NSA, Canada

Barton Bendish, East Anglia, UK

Next Steps

• Core Test Sites Close to Operational

• Beyond the Scope of WGISS

• 2006 Planned as a Transition Year

• To Who?– WGCV– NASA DAAC

• Land Processes
