Led by CNR, this WP will perform the validation of ERMES Local and Regional Services. Validation activities conducted in the demonstration phase have 3 objectives
- The further evaluation of GMES/Copernicus products from existing services (i.e. GIO Global land) and new activities (i.e. FP7 ImagineS) on different data sets
- The calibration and validation of customised ERMES EO and modelling processing chains
- The assessment of the accuracy and reliability of the added value information provided by ERMES services.
These activities will be performed in parallel in the 3 case studies, testing both the regional and local services and exploiting different data sources: field data, official crop production statistics and other relevant reference data related to crop status produced by regional authorities (e.g. observation of disease outcomes, ecc.).
