Dear colleagues,

This is to announce that ESA will hold a  Workshop on the Inter-comparison of
Large Scale Optical Sensors on behalf of the IVOS (Infrared Visible Optical
Sensors) subgroup of the CEOS Working Group Cal/Val. The workshop has the aim
to exchange experience and knowledge on the inter-comparison of moderate
spatial resolution imaging sensors and the combination of their data . A set of recommendations for CEOS Plenary, on the way forward in this area is  expected as an output from this Workshop.

The Workshop is confirmed to take place at ESA - ESTEC in the Netherlands on
Tuesday to Thursday 12 - 14. October 2004.

A short webstory introducing the workshop and its objectives can be found on
ESA's Living Planet website under the following address:
