Remote Sensing Laboratories (RSL), a unit made up of several departments of MetEOC partner University of Zurich, conducted a training workshop as part of MetEOC-3; in traceability chains, uncertainty propagation, and calibration/validation. The event was hosted by the Romanian National Institute for Laser, Plasma & Radiation (INFLPR). The Intensive, week long, workshop promoted the application of principles of data quality, uncertainty propagation, and metrologically rigorous data quality analysis, by experts and young scientists. As such, it was a potentially highly impactful example of the added value of MetEOC projects for inspiring useful benefits for wider research communities. Fostering best practices for harmonising and standardising approaches to data quality and uncertainty in the remote sensing community was one of the overarching objectives …

Marking a halfway reporting milestone, on 14 September 2022 EURAMET published its MetEOC-4 Publishable Summary that highlights significant recent progress made toward the long-term objective of the MetEOC series: development of an SI-traceable climate observation system. As with preceding projects in this series, MetEOC-4 encompasses a diverse range of research activities, structured according to four themes matching a set of predefined objectives. It continues existing, and initiates new, lines of research, developing tools, methods, and infrastructure capable of assigning metrologically (SI) traceable uncertainties to data products derived from Earth Observations, with a focus on climate change. More than half of the 54 atmosphere, land, and ocean Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) rely on measurements from space. These are physical, chemical, biological, or …
