The validation of terrestrial ECV products is in line with activities carried out in WGCV-Land Product Validation (LPV). The validation of ECVs covered within WGCV-LPV shall be strengthened. This includes (a) an update of validation stage, (b) ECV-specific synthesis of a state-of-the-art validation approach for each terrestrial variable with corresponding references and protocols, (c) ECV-specific identification of a golden standard for validation, and (d) continuation of development of ECV-specific validation protocols, including a community review process and updates. Results of each step will be made public via the WGCV-LPV website and finally the Cal/Val portal.
