This fourth iteration of the Joint GSICS / IVOS Lunar Calibration Workshop will focus on:

• Measurements and Moon observations, with the goal of achieving SI traceability
• Lunar calibration systems and model development
• Instrument monitoring using lunar calibration, including discussions on best practices for estimating the lunar irradiance from the measurements
• Thermal Infrared and microwave remote sensing and lunar observation
• Alternative applications of lunar observation, including geometric and MTF post-launch characterization

One of the goals is to provide an updated assessment of the current lunar observation dataset that can either support refining the accuracy of the current version of the ROLO/GIRO (but also of other models) or be part of the GSICS Lunar Observation Dataset (GLOD). It will also provide a first assessment of various lunar irradiance models on a common dataset via an inter-comparison exercise. As part of the community effort, a new framework is under development to offer a platform for running lunar irraidance models, the LSICS (Lunar Spectral Irradiance Calibration System) and the workshop will be the opportunity to discuss and refine the system specifications through direct interactions with potential futur users. Finally, the meeting is intending to provide more insight on the use of lunar observations in satellite mission Cal/Val plans and for sensor monitoring activities, including for future Earth observing systems and in the infra-red and microwave domains.

The agenda, presentations, summary and minutes of the meeting will be published on this page once available and agreed with the participants to the meeting.
