Cal/Val
ALOS-4 Calibration and Validation
ALOS-4 Calibration/Validation and Science Team
The ALOS-4 CVST (Calibration/Validation and Science Team) will conduct the following research on calibration/validation of standard products and maintenance of validation data (calibration/validation) as one of the themes of the EORC Earth Observation Research Announcement.
- * Methods of calibration, validation, and accuracy improvement for standard products
- * Assessing accuracy and applicability of standard products from the initial Cal/Val phase to the beginning of the operational phase
- * Development and sharing of high-level products and analysis tools for fundamental applications
- * Experiment and demonstration using new features of ALOS-4 such as ionospheric correction mode, extended swath width, and frequent time-series data.
- * Research and assessment on cross-calibration with other SAR satellites
- * Research on new technology for future missions
