Validation Meetings and Workshops
Validation Readiness Review workshop, November 17, 1999

The goals of this workshop were to:A copy of presenations and list of attendees are available at the meeting web site
- Share information on validation infrastructure
- Review current and planned validation activities
- Discuss how to connect validation investigations with instrument science teams to produce estimates of product uncertainty
- Construct the foundation for a document on land validation procedures
LAI/FPAR Protocol Development meeting, October 12-13, 1998
Hosted by Boston University.
Meeting resulted in protocol description in Earth Observer article "Global Validation of EOS LAI and FPAR Products" by Jeff Privette, Ranga Myneni, Jeff Morisette, and Chris Justice.Detail of the meeting's agenda and minutes are available at the LAI/FPAR protocol site.
