Methods and uncertainty

The methods Space and Earth Observation relies on: their equations and assumptions, the data they need, how they are validated and the limits of what they can show.

03Method register

Each method, its role in this field and how it is checked.

Methods and uncertainty: Source to evidence record

A source is registered and assessed, its record labelled and classified, and a Digital Evidence Passport carries provenance; a correction reaches every dependent record.

  1. 01 Intake

    1. 01Identify the sourceSource · The source stewardDiscovery is not ingestion. Source identification records the source class, steward, institutional role and jurisdiction.
    2. 03Register the sourceهەنگاوRegistration makes a discovered source a governed participant in the evidence lifecycle. It implies no endorsement or certification.
  2. 02 Assessment

    1. 04Jurisdiction and rights classificationدەروازەRights classification identifies licence, consent, confidentiality and reuse limits. The result determines access and routing.
    2. 05Evidence quality assessmentهەنگاوQuality assessment decides whether a record is fit for a defined use. Quality is multidimensional and never a single score.
    3. 06Evidence labelهەنگاوEvery finding carries one of nine evidence labels. Missing data is shown as missing, never as zero.
  3. 03 Record

    1. 07Evidence classificationتۆمارClassification gives records lifecycle states, such as source-verified, public-safe or restricted. States can coexist and set evidence use.
    2. 08Source release and identifierتۆمار · NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk)A source release records rights, temporal coverage and source lineage. A UNI is allocated through a catalogue and never typed by hand.
    3. 09Digital Evidence PassportتۆمارThe passport records provenance, quality, rights, jurisdiction, permitted use and history, so evidence keeps its context when it travels.
  4. 04 Use and correction

    1. 02Correction reaches dependent recordsStep · NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk)A source correction propagates to dependent cuts and products without rewriting old results.
    2. 10پێداچوونەوەی سەلامەتی گشتیدەروازەPublic-safe review decides whether a record can be shared publicly. It is a distinct stage and is not validation.

Data protocols: evidence lifecycle · Data protocols: core data objects and evidence records · The Global Risks Index (NXS-GRX)Designed programme process, not a record of operation. No cycle has run and every programme is at service level R0. A gate is a programme decision, never a public-authority approval, certification or deployment authorisation. The data-protocol pages describe a design, not a running system.

Where uncertainty in Earth observation analysis comes from, and how it is shown.

سەرچاوەWhy it matters hereHow it is reported
Classification accuracyVaries with region, season and classAccuracy assessments per product
Revisit and cloudLimit what fast events are seenObservation dates stated
GeolocationErrors matter for small featuresAccuracy stated
Sensor continuityMissions end; records breakRecord continuity noted

Every derived map states sensor, date and accuracy.

06How uncertainty is reported

How uncertainty is reported.

  1. 01

    State assumptions

    Each analysis lists its assumptions and the data it depends on.

  2. 02

    Quantify where possible

    Ranges and confidence are reported alongside central estimates.

  3. 03

    Validate and compare

    Models are checked against observations and, where possible, against other models.

  4. 04

    Publish limits

    What an analysis cannot show is stated beside what it can.
