1 ECV Inventory CCI 6 th Colocation, 29 th September 2015 Ed Pechorro, ESA Climate Office, Harwell, UK

2 Main Points What is an ECV Inventory Why does an ECV Inventory exist What is inside an ECV Inventory What is the status of the ECV Inventory What are the benefits & issues for CCI ECV data producers

3 The over-arching goal of WGClimate is to improve the systematic availability of CDRs through coordinated implementation, and further development of the architecture for climate monitoring from space WGClimate Terms of Reference (October 2013)

4 The over-arching goal of WGClimate is to improve the systematic availability of CDRs through coordinated implementation, and further development of the architecture for climate monitoring from space WGClimate Terms of Reference (October 2013) An inventory of ECVs provides a common tool for coordination & reporting.

5 The over-arching goal of WGClimate is to improve the systematic availability of CDRs through coordinated implementation, and further development of the architecture for climate monitoring from space WGClimate Terms of Reference (October 2013) An inventory of ECVs provides a common tool for coordinated development of the Climate Record pillar in context of Sensing and Applications

6 ECV Inventory is a snapshot of all ECV CDRs

7 ECV Inventory is the principle tool of WGClimate

8 ECV Inventory & WGClimate Objectives WGClimate coordination is designed to achieve 3 main objectives, involving ECV Inventory

9 ECV Inventory & WGClimate Objectives Objective #1 Building an inventory of existing ECV data records

10 ECV Inventory & WGClimate Objectives Objective #2 Making the most of available resources, to meet the unmet conditions (i.e. gaps) for ECV data production.

11 ECV Inventory & WGClimate Objectives Objective #3 Gap filling by optimising future missions.
