The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), the space arm of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), plays a key role in coordinating the land product validation process. The Land Product Validation (LPV) sub-group of the CEOS Working Group on Calibration and Validation (WGCV) aims to address the challenges associated with the validation of global land products. There are 9 focus areas within the LPV subgroup that are closely aligned with seven terrestrial Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) and Essential Biodiversity Variable (EBVs). A primary focus of LPV is the development of standards and best practices for satellite land product validation. Recent efforts have focused on the establishment of consensus guidelines for in situ measurements as well as inter-comparison of trends derived from independently-obtained reference data and derived products. The contribution will enhance coordination of the scientific needs of the Earth system communities with global LPV activities.
