Integration with Copernicus
in-situ component

We will establish the interface between the RemoTrees platform and Copernicus Services, in particular with the in-situ component and the Copernicus Land GBOV (Ground Based Observation for Validation) service, as well as with the CEOS land product validation community.

Calibration and Validation activities of Copernicus Land Vegetation Products are based on a wide range of in-situ monitoring networks. However, some spatial and temporal requirements for in-situ data are still not fully achieved, particularly over hard-to-reach areas. Compared to the existing initiatives and networks for in-situ validation, the RemoTrees would imply an order of magnitude lower costs for site infrastructures, while filling current existing geographical gaps in key environmental areas.

We will customise the RemoTrees data to fit the Copernicus calibration and validation needs. Furthermore, we will upscale TT raw data to generate ground-based vegetation products using Sentinel-2 data and advance calibration methods in the RemoteTrees network. Lastly, we will carry out a test-delivery of the customised in-situ RemoTrees data to the Copernicus Services and the international land product validation community.
