The accuracy assessment was done on the base of the ground truth data collected during the field trip in the area of Kelso (Scottish Borders, Scotland), organized by the Scottish Administration in the frame of the mission of the GeoCAP team (W. Devos and P. Milenov), performed on 11-13.01.2011.</p>http://mars.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Bulletins-Publications/LPIS-QA-Framework-ETS-Annex-III-The-Concept-of-land-cover-and-eligible-hectares-version-5.1 <p>ANNEX III: The concept of land cover and “eligible hectares" describes the concept of the land cover mapping used in the ETS and the way to express the raw ETS observations (mapped land cover and landscape features) in eligibility terms, using an eligibility profile to perform the conversion. A brief introduction of the FAO Land Cover Classification System, used in the semantic description of the agriculture land cover, that might represent eligible land, is also given. A template of an eligibility profile is available at the end of the document (Tables 2 and 3), but can the retrieved also as XSD scheme from Downloads 2011.</p>http://mars.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Bulletins-Publications/LPIS-QA-Framework-ETS-Annex-II-Flow-of-events-related-to-the-inspection-of-the-Reference-Parcel-Version-5.1 <p>ANNEX II: ETS inspection procedure – Description of the workflow contains more detailed and comprehensive description of the ETS parcel inspection workflow, given above. The operator's steps and events are grouped into Action Packages, following the structure of an UML Activity Diagram, developed to visualize the sequence of the process from business use case point of view.</p> <p>This Annex forms part of the ETS methodology that consist also:</p> <p> · Annex I “LPIS data quality measures, Version 5.1” - LBNA25184ENN.pdf<br />· Annex III “The Concept of land cover and “eligible hectares” version 5.1” - LBNA25185ENN.pdf</p>http://mars.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Bulletins-Publications/LPIS-QA-Framework-ETS-Annex-I-LPIS-data-quality-measures-Version-5.1 <p>ANNEX I: LPIS data quality measures contains the definition and comprehensive description of the quality measures of the LPIS data, which provide the necessary and sufficient information to properly evaluate the performance of a given LPIS. They are defined on the base of the principles and templates of ISO/TS 19138.</p> <p> There are two group of quality measures, stated in the document:<br /> · quality measures at reference parcel level (with prefix RP_ in the Alias Name) - they are subject of the ETS parcel inspection<br />· quality measures at sample level (with prefix LPIS_ in the Alias Name) - they are derived from statistics from the "RP_" measures, through pre-defined SQL statements on the set of observations made during the ETS inspection. Some sample measures involve statistics from other sources.</p>http://mars.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Bulletins-Publications/Mars-Bulletin-Vol.-20-No.02-Agro-meteorological-overview-and-weather-forecast-10-Feb-2012 <p>Frost kill damage expected for western and eastern Europe due to the recent cold spell</p>http://mars.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Bulletins-Publications/HR-Specifications-2012 <p>HR Image Specifications for the CwRS Programme - 2012</p> <p></p>http://mars.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Bulletins-Publications/VHR-Specifications-2012 <p>VHR Image Specifications for the CwRS Programme - 2012</p> <p></p>http://mars.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Bulletins-Publications/Mars-Bulletin-Vol.-20-No.01-Agro-meteorological-overview-and-weather-forecast-13-Jan-2012 <p>There were milder than usual thermal conditions over most Europe providing favourable conditions for the development and wintering of all winter crops. Frost events were less frequent than usual. The precipitation exceeded by far the average in the western part of Europe. </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p>
