Mission Statement

ECCOE Mission is to develop, guide, and lead communications and best practices for the cal/val community for Earth Observations.

Develop advanced methods to perform radiometric/geometric/spatial characterization and calibration of optical remote sensing systems to improve the accuracy and precision of all derived data products.
Develop new and improved methods for the cross-calibration of optical remote sensing systems for continuous improvement of the interoperability of remote sensing data products.
Provide the expertise and advocacy necessary for the acquisition of new measurements that continue to improve optical remote sensing data quality, coverage, and expanded usefulness for science applications.
Develop mutually beneficial partnerships within USGS/DOI, across other government agencies nationally and internationally, and throughout commercial and civil industries.
Develop and coordinate a standard best practices and methods in the remote sensing community for optical sensor calibration and validation.
Host annual meetings to engage the broader remote sensing community to understand requirements needed by science user community.
