LAND MANAGEMENT Break-out 1 & 2 Science & Operational Challenges Improvements Needed <strong>to</strong> Make Greater Use of <strong>SAR</strong> Data –Science & Operational 1. Reduced data cost / Improved data policies (e.g. data sharing)** – Subsidize data <strong>to</strong> enable free / reduced cost data distribution – Identify / secure funding <strong>to</strong> pay for data / services; look at existing user payment models such as in met community; coordinate exchanges between agencies; User community communicates / lobbies data needs <strong>to</strong> space agencies –Operational centers requiring data, user Govt agencies; Ag CoP (17) 2. Lack of training opportunities (at different levels) and awareness – Access <strong>to</strong> and development of training courses; online courses / materials; combination of regional / local workshops; ‘training of trainers’; GEO disseminates training opportunities; greater access <strong>to</strong> software –GEO, CEOS, Universities (12) 3. Improved availability of models or methods <strong>to</strong> derive information from data (Lack of best practices re: potential applications of <strong>SAR</strong>) – Interoperability between software makers; development of widely available algorithms (e.g. in commercial packages) more research in developing new, valid algorithms - Ag CoP, Universities (11) 4. Reduce gap between research & operational users** –Closer interactions between research / operational communities; financial support for converting research in<strong>to</strong> operations; outreach <strong>to</strong> decision-makers; development of widely available algorithms (e.g. in commercial packages) –Lobby govts <strong>to</strong> develop policies <strong>to</strong> transition research in<strong>to</strong> operations –Donor agencies, Governments (11)
Improvements Needed <strong>to</strong> Make Greater Use of <strong>SAR</strong> Data –Science & Operational 5. Improved revisit/re-look of satellite passes (improved temporal coverage) –Constellation approach with operational satellites – multi-frequency / multi-res –Launch of more satellites –Space agencies / Governments (8) 6. Accessibility of <strong>SAR</strong> polarization / frequency–Lobby for adequate mission design; defining globally-distributed ‘super-sites’ (requirement depends on operational / scientific uses); experimentation with compact pol technology –CEOS, JECAM (8) 7. Greater access <strong>to</strong> his<strong>to</strong>rical / current data archives - Awareness of existing catalogs; relaxing data policies on archived data (EO data has shelf life, after which data should simply be made freely available) –Process his<strong>to</strong>rical data <strong>to</strong> make available <strong>to</strong> users; User community communicates data needs <strong>to</strong> space agencies; open announcements of opp. –Ag CoP; Space agencies (4) 8. Greater access <strong>to</strong> new acquisitions / flexibility in programming (dependent on mission type) –Different satellites operating on fixed-schedule tasking and flexible-tasking operational models – Launch more satellites; coordination between space agencies – CEOS (1) –training, <strong>to</strong>ols, data, etc… 9. Easier data discovery and order process (e.g. global portal) (S) – Awareness of existing catalogs (e.g. thru GEO) –list of 10 URLs of key portals –GEO, Don Ball (0) ** - Did not categorize based on science vs operations
