Abstract

The Group on Earth Observation (GEO) required for their Forest Carbon Tracking (FCT) task the assistance of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) space agencies to implement coordinated data acquisition strategies from Earth Observation (EO) over key areas of interest to demonstrate the value of linking coordinated acquisition of satellite data with standardised processing methods, forest inventory and ecosystem models. Both optical and radar of midresolution have been acquired within the coordinated acquisition campaigns developed in 2009 and 2010. Homogeneous and coherent EO databases have already started by means of full key areas coverage according with suitable sensor operating modes. CEOS effort seeks now continuing with an updated strategy over expanded area coverage.
