Workshop Goals


  • Expand dialog and understanding between the field measurement community and the satellite product community
  • Identify key challenges to effective and efficient albedo satellite product validation
  • Develop a consensus research agenda to address challenges
  • Attempt to organize some community activities (e.g., common data staging, intercomparisons, develop plans for a "consensus best practices" document)
The LPV workshop on Albedo was held in a small focused round table format. This workshop began Tuesday afternoon, 22 October, 2002 with a Poster Session on Land Product Validation and Utilization which was held jointly with the MODIS Workshop on Land Surface Radiation Budget Variables and Snow and Ice Products which took place immediately preceeding this workshop at Boston University on October 21-22, 2002.
