Only through confidence in parameter uncertainty will there be increased uptake of these data products by the end-user community. This workshop will focus on the validation of water quality products derived from satellite ocean color sensors within optically complex nearshore-coastal and inland waters with the goal of constructing a global validation network.&nbsp; The workshop will summarize and evaluate the state of current validation assets globally, identify gaps in validation coverage and begin to design a framework to construct a global validation network for these critical waters. Workshop objectives include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Review and evaluation of current and planned validation-related activities.<\/li><li>Identifying validation gaps in spatial coverage as well as water types.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Review and evaluation of current <em>in situ<\/em> and laboratory optical measurements and data acquisition protocols including instrument characterization and absolute radiometric calibration.<\/li><li>&nbsp;Review and evaluation of satellite measurements in terms of representativeness for coastal and inland systems (e.g. pixel window, match up timing).<\/li><li>Assessing current optical and water quality database resources including repository archive, preservation, stewardship, and access.<\/li><li>Building global coordination through international partnerships for validation activities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop will cover a number of aspects related to validation including standardization of protocols, instrumentation needs, current validation research and operational efforts, validation metrics, interoperability, and documenting and formatting validation data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Validation Workshop Program Committee<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Steven Greb (co-chair), University of Wisconsin-Madison and GEO AquaWatch<\/li><li>Collen Mouw (co-chair), University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography<\/li><li>Merrie Beth Neely, GEO AquaWatch<\/li><li>Paul DiGiacomo, NOAA NESDIS<\/li><li>Giuseppe Zibordi, EU Joint Research Centre<\/li><li>Ewa Kwiatkowska, EUMETSAT<\/li><li>Juan Ignacio Gossn, EUMETSAT<\/li><li>Gordon Campbell, ESA<\/li><li>Nima Pahlevan, SSAI\/NASA Goddard<\/li><li>Tim Moore, Florida Atlantic University<\/li><li>Blake Schaeffer, USEPA<\/li><li>Michael Ondrusek, NOAA<\/li><li>Bridget Seegers, NASA\/USRA<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For questions, please contact&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:srgreb@wisc.edu\">Steven Greb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Validation and uncertainty assessment are crucial to the successful acceptance of satellite-derived data products.
