Establish a formal process for routine Establish a formal process for routine access to calibration/validation access to calibration/validation
informationinformation Mechanism needed among OPC partners for collaborative cal/val
activities and in the exchange and sharing cal/val information. Scientists need routine access to calibration/validation (cal/val)
information and to be more involved (for example as observers) in OPC cal/val reviews and activities.
There are established OPC processes for sharing the data files but not for sharing cal/val information.
Having access to what went on to produce the content of data files is critical. Cal/val reviews should include (systematically) OPCs key scientists (or key POC) who use the satellite data.
JCSDA, AFWA, FNMOC, and NAVO should become part of the STAR and DWSS teams for collaborative cal/val and sharing of information.
