  1. CEOS space agencies: support for climate observations Gilberto Câmara Chair, CEOS Director, INPE

  2. What is CEOS? 28 space agencies 20 participating organizations

  3. What has changed in the vision of the space agencies? Need for continuous, operational surveying of climate and terrestrial variables

  4. What has changed in the vision of the space agencies? Need to coordinate Earth observation programmes and ensure interoperability

  5. Earth observation and scientific programs dominate public R&D investment for non-manned space programs Source: Euroconsult (2009)

  6. CEOS Virtual Constellations Common requirements, independent satellites, compatible data (CEOS – Committee on Earth Observation Systems)

  7. A Vision for CEOS Task Forces GEO, Scientific Community, Society Space Agencies and Decision-Making Constellations and Data Democracy Working Groups (WGISS, WGEdu, WGCV) CEOS Community

  8. Ocean surface topography constellation

  9. Global Precipitation Constellation

  10. Land Surface Imaging Constellation TERRA (ASTER & MODIS) IRS LANDSAT RESOURCESAT ALOS SAC-C SPOT CBERS

  11. Forest Carbon Tracking – Task Force CSIRO, JAXA, NSC, GOFC, INPE Is it feasible to monitor the world´s tropical forests?

  12. Open access data policies: a qualified success CBERS@INPE: 1 million images (2004-2009) LANDSAT @USGS: 1 million images (Jan-Aug-2009) GMES Sentinels @ESA-EC: Data will be open access (Sep 2009)

  13. Data for the world´s tropical areas Miyun Urumchi Aswan Maspalomas Ghuangzhou Chetumal Bangkok Boa Vista Libreville Darwin Cuiabá Jo´burg Global satellite data in 5 meter+ will be free Concerted action needed with benefits to all involved

  14. images: NASA-INPE We know earth observation data is essential for the planet…
