What do we mean by integration of products? Some thoughts...
VC’s role and application-based groups
In some domains, for example altimetry, there is a need to integration steps to better meet the user requirements. Generally these steps are done when creating higher level products. For Sea Surface Temperature (SST), the Group for High Resolution SST (GHRSST) has guided the individual missions on how to produce L2P which can easily be combined with those of other mission towards integrative usage by providing standards on the format and the characterization of the information content. These aspects have close links to cal/val work.Some specific applications can trigger the need for a combination of single parameter products into super-products, e.g. surface wind vectors and waves for marine forecasting, SST and ocean color for fisheries, etc. Super-products have often usability gaps, which may be filled or resolved by model data.From the point of view of data accessibility, there are not many centralized access points for integrated ocean products. The existing few are set-up by single agencies, e.g., AVISO, PO.DAAC.In order to trigger the discussion on integrated products, the following specific topics are identified. Please grab a pen and write your views directly on the poster. They will be used to animate the discussion on the VC/WG working day.
What can be the role of the VCs in actively foster integration of ocean parameters into higher level and/or super-products? How to best liaise with the application-based groups to define requirements for super-products and give them visibility at CEOS?
Is there a need for a Sea Ice VC (or WG), integrating different missions (altimetry,
scatterometry, dedicated missions, ..), and more in general, are there any other such gaps for other important geophysical variables?
All CEOS data are in principle represented in the International Directory Network (IDN) – how does the IDN support one-stop-shopping for different user groups? How do the VCs and the WGISS contribute to establishing one-stop-shopping concepts to respond to requirements of the different application groups?
Understanding that most of the cal/val and product standards work is done for individual parameters within the science teams, how can the output best be adopted and represented by the WG of cal/val and the VCs? What is the role of the VCs and the WG on cal/val in harmonising this output?
