Event:Uncertainties for Earth Observation Training Course - Organised by NPL, U.K.

Dates: July 03 – 04, 2014

Location: National Physics Laboratory, Teddington, London, U.K.

URL: http://www.npl.co.uk/events/3-4-jul-2014-uncertainties-for-earth-observation-training-course

Registration Deadline: None. (35 places only)

POC: events@npl.co.uk

Description: A two-day training course on uncertainty analysis for earth observation measurements, with particular emphasis on the calibration and characterisation of remote sensing radiometric instruments: both pre-flight satellite instruments and for ground validation instrumentation.

Event: 1^st International Satellite Snow Products Intercomparison Workshop (ISSPI) 

Dates: July 21 – 23, 2014

Location: College Park, Maryland, USA

URL: http://calvalportal.ceos.org/projects/snowpex

Abstract Deadline: May 21, 2014

POC: Thomas Nagler , ENVEO, thomas.nagler@enveo.at

Description: Seasonal snow is a main element of the global water cycle and climate system. Due to its strong influence on the radiation and energy balance, changes in snow extent tend to amplify climate fluctuations. Terrestrial snow covers up to 50 million km2 and temporal variability. Therefore satellite observations provide the only means for timely and complete observations of the global snow cover. The recently published 2013 IPCC Working Group 1 report identified seasonal snow as significantly decreasing in the recent decades. The importance of accurate data on the global snow cover has been addressed in the WCRP-CliC Workshop and "WCRP Grand Challenges and the Cryosphere in a Changing Climate", held in Tromsö, 16-18 Oct. 2013. The "The role of snow as an active component of the global climate system" has been identified by CliC as a main topic for future research. Also in the WMO Global Cryosphere Watch Workshop in January 2013 the need of intercomparing snow products from various sensors and methods was identified.

Event: The Conference on Characterization and Radiometric Calibration for Remote Sensing (CALCON Technical Conference)

Dates: August 11 – 14, 2014

Location: Eccles Conference Center, Utah State University, Logan, UT, USA

URL: http://www.calcon.sdl.usu.edu/

Abstract Deadline: March 19, 2014

POC: Stephanie Halton, Utah State University Research Foundation, calcon@usurf.usu.edu ,435.713.3058

Description: Calibration is becoming increasingly more challenging as measurement requirements for many of today's remote sensing applications become more stringent. The Conference on Characterization and Radiometric Calibration for Remote Sensing (CALCON Technical Conference) provides a forum for scientists, engineers, and managers to present, discuss, and learn. Experts in the calibration community offer relevant knowledge and suggestions about calibration, characterization, and radiometric issues within the microwave, IR, visible, and UV spectral ranges. Individuals developing measurement requirements for today's and future sensor systems are encouraged to participate and help close the gap between expectations and real world experiences. The continuity and advancement of our calibration community depends on your participation.
