133 ISSUES OF DATA STABILITY AND CONTINUITY AS RELATED TO GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING M.D. Thompson Intera Technologies Ltd. Calgary, Alberta, Canada ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of the current and anticipated problems of stability and continuity in remotely sensed data, as perceived by both suppliers and the user community involved in global environmental monitoring programs. In recent years, increasing worldwide attention has been focused on environmental problems on a global scale; remote sensing technology has been targeted as one of the major sources of data for the evaluation and monitoring of these environmental problems. Current and future earth resources satellite programs have come under increasing scientific and political scrutiny for their relevance as providers of data for environmental research as well as operational programs in environmental monitoring. The technical issues include interchangeability of data amongst sensor types as related to calibration and data quality; data continuity as related to data type (bands, resolution), data archiving, etc.; plans for future satellite programs and their implications for both environmental research and operational monitoring applications; and implications of current and future programs in the environmental monitoring areas of forestry, oceanography, agriculture and land use, hydrology and others. Data suppliers, in the form of governments and private sector satellite builders, operators and data distributors, have the responsibility of providing useful and cost-effective remotely sensed data. Users of these data must make reasonable yet comprehensive requirements for global environmental monitoring data sets known to the data suppliers. Many of these detailed specifications for data are not yet even identified. The international political, scientific and operational wills must come together rapidly, in order that current and planned programs for acquisition of remotely sensed data be effective tools for global environmental programs.
