CTS for monitoring 2

2nd technical meeting on the CTS for monitoring

Centre Borchette - A01 – 23 April 2018

Scope: This is the 2nd of a series of technical meetings to coordinate ongoing activities of the monitoring approach as a substitute for the OTSC. The goal of these meetings is to provide input for the development a prototype “Common Technical Specification” for the MS who will apply monitoring in the near future. Participants were identified by either their request for JRC support, joint activities with the JRC or their role in the current semester.

The prototype CTS would likely cover:

1. Conditions and pre-requisites (LPIS, GSAA, multiannual processing capacity)
2. Added value of data sources (Copernicus, Geotagged Image, ancillary data, historical data)
3. Best practices (workflows, ICT architecture, available SW solutions, algorithms)
4. Minimum -but realistic- requirements and provisional validations
5. Reporting: content and templates
6. Assessment and quality considerations
7. Contingency provisions

This second meeting dealt with component 3 "Best practices (workflows, ICT architecture, available SW solutions, algorithms)", in a continuous session.

The JRC-CAPLAND and Copernicus teams prepared two introductions:

• Outcomes of the 1st meeting on Monitoring - Philippe Loudjani
• Towards a CTSM - best practices – Wim Devos
