The CEOS ARD Product Family Specifications (PFS) are intended to be living documents. LSI-VC is responsible for land domain PFS under the CEOS ARD Governance Framework. This task captures this ongoing effort of the LSI-VC.
The Aquatic Reflectance PFS was endorsed by LSI-VC in early 2022.
The SAR subgroup has completed an Ocean Radar Backscatter PFS, which is targeted for endorsement at LSI-VC-12 in September.
A Nighttime Lights Surface Radiance PFS is also targeted for endorsement at LSI-VC-12.
Geocoded Single-Look Complex (GSLC), Interferometric Radar (INSAR), and the LiDAR Terrain and Canopy Top Height PFS remain in progress.
A PFS dedicated to hyperspectral sensors / imaging spectrometers is in very early discussion.

Ongoing activity. Due date should reflect ongoing nature.
The Combined CEOS-ARD for Synthetic Aperture Radar PFS, which incorporates the new Geocoded Single-Look Complex (GSLC) spec, was endorsed at LSI-VC-14 in October 2023.
Development of the Lidar Terrain & Canopy Height PFS continues and a first draft is planned for Q1 2024.
Work continues on the possible expansion of the Aquatic Reflectance PFS to cover oceans more broadly. In early 2024 we expect presentation of recommendations to the CEOS-ARD Oversight Group to update the AR PFS to include oceanic waters.
Redundant with VC-23-12. Closed this older version.
