There is a need for enhanced credibility for climate data to support rigorous science, decision making and climate services.
The FIDUCEO H2020 project has been addressing this need and in particular developing methods for applying the science of metrology to the generation and use of fundamental climate data records.
The FIDUCEO team would like to invite you to register for the FIDUCEO workshop:
Earth Observation Radiances to Climate Data Records: Metrological Principles and their Application on 17th -19th April 2018 in Lisbon.
This workshop presents the metrological techniques developed in the FIDUCEO project, explains the vocabulary used and provides exemplars on how these techniques have been applied to specific sensor series.
The workshop will run over 3 days (1pm to 1pm) and include presentations, break out sessions/ working group meetings, case studies and feedback from our early Beta users. There will also be poster sessions.
Registration is free.

Workshop overview:
|
Day 1 |
Introduction to Earth Observation as a Measurement Science Presentations synthesising understanding of measurement uncertainty in EO radiances and their relevance to requirements for climate data records, drawing on developments in FIDUCEO, ESA’s climate change initiative and the discipline of metrology. |
|
|
Drinks reception and posters |
|
Day 2 |
Sharing Knowledge on Current Fundamental Climate Data Records Interactive, practical and posters sessions on FCDRs and how they are presently understood and used. Introduction to FIDUCEO FCDRs, feedback and discussion of future requirements and possibilities. |
