CTS for monitoring 3

3rd technical meeting on the CTS for monitoring

Centre Borchette - C01 – 18 June 2018

Scope: This is the 3rd 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 third meeting dealt with the last components (requirements, reporting and quality), in a continuous session.

The JRC-CAPLAND and Copernicus teams prepared two introductions:

• What has changed on the best practices since the second technical meeting?
• Towards a CTSM - requirements, reporting, practices
