The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Working Group on Calibration and Validation (WGCV), SAR Subgroup, Synthetic Aperture Radar Workshop 2020 (CEOS SAR 2020) will be held virtually this year due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. This meeting will be held October 6-8, 2020, and will focus on Cal/Val discussions rather than formal presentations. No registration will be required, but we will be polling the membership in September on which sessions they plan to attend.
We will not be broadly soliciting presentations for this workshop. However, the chairs of these discussion sessions may request short presentations from some of the membership to kick off the discussions.
There will be three topics for discussion:
The CEOS SAR Cal/Val target database (and a comprehensive inventory of such targets). This topic will be discussed at two separate times to increase global participation.
