THE 2010 TUZ GOLU FIELD CAMPAIGN-AN OVERVIEW

Tuz Golu, a salt lake situated in the central Anatolia, which dries during summer resulting in a spatially homogeneous high reflective surface is one of the LANDNET Sites [4, 6]. As a relatively new site and with support from the European Space Agency (ESA) and Space Technologies Research Institute of The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK UZAY) it was decided that this would be a good candidate to carry out an international comparison of this nature. This paper provides an overview of the CEOS international comparison carried out at Tuz Golu in 13 - 27 August 2010.
