The LPVE23 Workshop intends to address the following objectives:
Review status and evolution of retrieval methods and Cal/Val approaches for satellite-derived terrestrial essential climate variables (ECVs): albedo, fAPAR, LAI, LST, fire, soil moisture, snow.
Revisit existing Cal/Val infrastructure and protocols and their readiness in the light of future satellite land missions, e.g., FLEX, BIOMASS, CHIME, LSTM.
Promote synergies and foster cooperation across existing Cal/Val Networks, identifying gaps and working towards the harmonization of adopted protocols.
Report on recent field campaigns and promote adoption of metrological practices in Cal/Val, following the principles of Fiducial Reference Measurements (FRM).
Report on latest progress on radiative transfer models and products inter-comparison exercises and discuss data harmonisation across sensors.
Formulate recommendations for future land products and gather Cal/Val needs in terms of ground-based infrastructure and data availability, accessibility, timeliness.
