Objectives
  • Provide time series of a range of vegetation
    parameters, utilising the unique spectral,
    spatial and temporal resolution of the MERIS
    instrument
  • Make spatially and temporally continuous time
    series available through visualisation and
    download of maps and phenology curves for
    individual locations
  • Support the development of a validated baseline
    time series (2005 - ) in advance of the launch of
    Sentinels 2 and 3

3
Level 1b to Level 3 processing approach
  • Convert MERIS Level 1b data to Level 3 gridded
    maps, on a daily basis
  • geometric correction
  • radiometric correction
  • atmospheric correction
  • derive biophysical variable(s)
  • resample direct to target map grid (latlong,
    OSGB36, Irish Grid)

4
Level 1b geometric accuracy issues
5
Level 1b geometric accuracy issues
6
Level 3 geometric accuracy
  • To preserve geometric fidelity, resampling into
    the target map grid is carried out in a single
    step
  • To conserve the scene statistics area weighted
    (flux-conserving) resampling is used

7
Level 4 processing - interpolation
8
Level 4 processing - smoothing
9
Level 4 processing interpolation metrics
10
Level 4 processing smoothing metric
11
Level 3 validation
  • Moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2() validation
    requires considerable product generation
  • PHAVEOS is utilising the ESA Grid Processing
    On-Demand (G-POD) environment
  • Based on MERIS FRS data from 2005 present, will
    deliver a range of Level 3 and Level 4 time
    series
  • LAI, fAPAR, fCover, MTCI, NDVI, 2G_RBi, .
  • Provision of Level 3 products for MODIS match up
    sites (N. America)
  • Coverage of PAR_at_METER sites
  • OnLine Interactive Validation Exercise (OLIVE)

12
Level 4 validation
  • Land Surface Phenology product validation methods
    TBD.
  • issues of spatial disparity where Sentinel 2
    could bridge the gap.
  • Access to Forestry Commission intense monitoring
    sites (leaf litter collections, phenocams)
  • Access to UK Phenology Network
  • Access to tropical (DRC) deforestation ground
    truth

Web Map Service dissemination concept
14
Phenology metrics what is the point?
  • Why use, and validate / inter-compare, basic
    phenology statistics?
  • Loss of information from a continuous time series
    (are we hiding intra-annular information)
  • Why inter-compare on a handful of measures when
    full time series are available?
  • Extraction of metrics is sensitive to interaction
    of smoothing and metric extraction methods
  • Different users are interested in different
    aspects of time series (phenology curves)
  • Are simple metrics capturing a relevant reality?
