NOAA/NESDIS Cooperative Research Program
Second Annual Science Symposium

SATELLITE CALIBRATION & VALIDATION

The 2005 science symposium, focusing on satellite calibration and validation, was hosted by the NOAA/NESDIS Advanced Satellite Products Branch (ASPB) in conjunction with the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The symposium was held the afternoon of 13 July 2005 and all day 14 July 2005, immediately following the celebration of CIMSS Silver Anniversary,
Satellite Meteorology: Past, Present and Future.



Symposium goals:

  • Foster student/young scientist interaction
  • survey current satellite cal/val activities
  • educate students regarding satellite cal/val
  • search for synergy between on-going activities at the cooperative institutes and NOAA
  • discuss future plans for cal/val, including field experiments

The Cooperative Research Program

The Cooperative Research Program (CoRP) of NOAA/NESDIS’ Office of Research and Applications (ORA) facilitates access to the resources of federal and academic scientists and engineers with expertise in several area of satellite remote sensing. This includes the areas of calibration of new and existing satellite data, as well as conducting field and satellite validation studies.
