www. earthobservations. org www. gfoi. org Global Baseline Acquisition Strategy for GFOI • Global Baseline Strategy and Implementation Plan for 2013 approved by CEOS @ SIT-28 • Baseline strategy objective to assure the availability of temporally and spatially consistent time-series of optical and SAR satellite data over the global forest cover. • Initial focus on tropical forest countries developing national MRV • Publicly open (“core”) satellite data • Phased implementation schedule with aim at full global scale operations by 2016 SDCG-4, Pasadena, CA/USA September 4 -6, 2013
www. earthobservations. org www. gfoi. org Global Baseline Acquisition Strategy for GFOI • Baseline strategy designed to provide the minimum satellite data required for countries to develop – partly or fully – the key thematic forest information products defined in the GFOI MGD. • Mid-res optical sensors expected baseline “work horses” but certain products require SAR and/or VHR data • Absolute minimum requirement is the successful acquisition of at least one annual national wall-to-wall optical coverage over each target country. • Aim to provide intra-annual time-series and multi-mission observations. SDCG-4, Pasadena, CA/USA September 4 -6, 2013
www. earthobservations. org www. gfoi. org Phased implementation to: • allow the establishment of the necessary coordination processes with contributing agencies; • reflect the schedule of gradually increasing availability of the anticipated core data streams between now and 2016; • reflect priorities set by the policy context and readiness of individual countries to participate in REDD+ development; • take into account the need for continuity of coverage of the existing National Demonstrator countries established under the GEO-FCT Task as a precursor to GFOI.
