Popis: The Copernicus data Quality Control (CQC) is a service supporting the quality and harmonisation of satellite data offered to the Copernicus community. The CQC Team has recognised that there is variability of technical terms and definitions in the Earth Observation (EO) products in the context of the applied geometric corrections. A comparison among products from different missions suggests the need for a strong, co-ordinated harmonisation effort. This paper describes an activity of the CQC Team to encourage harmonisation among Copernicus data providers. For the time being this activity addresses only Optical imagery. Firstly, the paper clarifies a set of terms and relevant definitions for use within the paper itself and the published documentation at large. The choice of each term is driven by the fact that it is more broadly accepted by the scientific community than others. Then the paper describes the grouping (harmonization) of the products which have undergone the same (or similar) corrections...
