2021 ESIP Winter Meeting

Interest in the subject and implementation of Analysis Ready Data (ARD), especially for remote sensing products, continues to build in the domain of science data producers and private industry, and their user communities.

In this session we will explore and hear about the landscape of ARD activities from science data producers, private industry stakeholders, and international coordination activities like the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) and others. We will solicit presentations on ARD definitions and assessment, implementation, and practical examples of ARD datasets and their applications highlighting both the successes and challenges.

One of the potential outcomes of this session is to build momentum toward more harmonization of diverse ARD activities and definitions.
