These results support those from Table 3-2, which imply that satellite sources for these datasets would be well utilised if they were more widely available. Passive microwave, SAR and geomagnetic data from airborne sources were also considered essential or advantageous for several projects.

Results for usage of these data types are summarised in Table 3-4, showing that over half the projects need ground-based data to calibrate or validate their EO data analyses. The rating frequencies in Tables 3-2 and 3-3 can be considered one measure of ‘criticality’ for these data types in current EO-related research activities in Australia. Within the subset of projects which rated any individual data type as ‘essential’, Table 3-5 separates data usage by project budget, showing that the most widely used data types, optical and SAR, are essential to projects from all budget ranges, and are especially popular in the smaller budget projects. Instruments specifically designed for atmospheric studies are mostly used for medium and large budget projects, as are the newer instrument types such as Hyperspectral imagers, Lidars and Radar Altimeters.
