- Look at quality over time and make adjustments where needed to satisfy the long term monitoring requirements. Data quality monitoring function in real time allocated to the CVS within IDPS. Adjustments made using offline Cal Val test tools.
- Developing long term monitoring strategy, documented in Section 8 of the Cal Val plans.  Working to flow requirements commensurate with the IDPS Build 1.3 schedule.
- Truth data requirements being worked.
- LTM phase primarily supported by O&S resources using ST&E/IDPS developed tools.
