Access to restricted (non-open) and open datasets is critical to the success of JECAM, and the support of CEOS Agencies to these projects is greatly appreciated. Work will be undertaken to identify opportunities for streamlining data licensing and data sharing to facilitate JECAM projects. Progress will be reported at SIT-30.
April 2015: NASA and CSA successfully completed a data sharing agreement to allow hosting of Radarsat-2 data on the JECAM Space Data Management System (SDMS). This data sharing agreement, called a MURF, allows sharing of data across multiple JECAM test sites to share processing methods and enhance the use of radar data for agriculture applications.
