Organisational
• VC Terms of References are in draft: • Alignment with other VC Terms of References.• ToR’s need another loop for review among all the OST-VC participating agencies and
organizations.
• VC co-chairs update : • Juliette Lambin (CNES) replacing Eric Lindstrom (NASA)• Hans Bonekamp (EUMETSAT) replacing Francois Parisot (EUMETSAT)

“Bad Cop” vs OST-VC
Advancement of the CEOS Virtual Constellations: 2014-2016Objective/Deliverable Projected
Completion Date
Background Information Responsible CEOS Entity
VC-1: List of Relevant Datasets from VCs
Results of study will be fed into WGISS IDN to ensure coverage of all VC data.
VCs with support from WGISS
VC-7: Catalogue of Cal/Val infrastructure and activities
This will help in identifying risks, the needs for advancement and to promote agency calibration.
OCR-VC
VC-8: Action Plan for GEO Blue Planet Components
Q1 2015 Components as identified in the revised Blue Planet Task White Paper (November 2013).
OCR-VC
VC-9: Updated OST CEOS Constellation URD
Update will encompass SAR Mode Altimetry.
OST-VC
VC-10: Catalog of Cal/Val infrastructure
This catalog will help with Cal/Val planning and promote agency coordination. A major interest of the OST-VC is the sustainability of critical Cal/Val elements.

Bad Cop
SIT-29 MeetingCNES, Toulouse, France9th-10th April 2014
• Ocean Surface Topography is a key parameter in the Blue Planet, already widely available: de-facto high interest from OST-VC
• Integration with other parameter: very active works at research and operational level. Not specific requirements yet coming from OST user community: will certainly change in the near future
• => OST-VC will take those into account

OST-VC implementation an coordination issues: Finalize ToR
Find some formal meeting occasions: next OST-ST Meeting in Konstanz, Oct 2014
Engage more actively agencies from India, China (CNSA, NSOAS), Japan in the OST-VC activities cannot be reduced to OSTST meetings
