14.4 Ivan Petiteville presented the status on DA-07-03, Virtual Constellations The four current virtual constellations are: Precipitation, Land-Surface Imaging, Ocean Surface Topography and Atmospheric Chemistry. All 4 constellations reported significant progress since 2007 CEOS Plenary (Nov. 07). Two new constellations were accepted at SIT-22 (sep. 08): Ocean Color Radiometry (OCR) and Ocean Surface Wind Vectors.
Question: How do you get the cooperation for cross-calibration, etc.? I. Petiteville: that’s what the project is for, to coordinate formats, calibration, etc. This must be done for missions that were designed completely separately.
