CEOS-Annual-Report-2000-2001-Special-Biennial-Edition.pdf
This publication marks the inaugural edition of the CEOS Annual Report. The CEOS Annual Report will convey the main highlights, activities, and accomplishments of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) during the previous year. Because no report was issued in 2000, this inaugural edition of the CEOS Annual Report is a special biennial version, covering both the years 2000 and 2001.

CEOS-Committee-on-Earth-Observation-Satellites-Working-Group-on-Calibration-and-Validation.pdf
International collaboration on calibration and validation through the CalNal Working Group has been one of the signal successes of the CEOS organisation. The Working Group has created a mechanism for the sharing of effort in CALN AL between cooperating agencies, for the management of coherent programmes and campaigns and for the pooling of engineering and scientific information about the process of Earth observation through a variety of techniques. The success of the meeting of the SAR subgroup reported here is further evidence of the success of the coordinated approach adopted through CEOS.

CEOS-Yearbook-1997-Towards-an-integrated-global-observing-strategy.pdf
This document discusses the need for observations of planet Earth and its environment - both global observations, such as might be required to fulfil the needs of international climate treaties, and regional, national and local observations in support of specific environment, development and other issues. A large number of geophysical measurements are required whose spatial and temporal resolutions and accuracies depend on the specific application under consideration.
