The Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO) mission will measure the fluorescence signal produced by Extensive Air Showers (EAS). To determine the intrinsic shower luminance and hence the energy of the incident cosmic ray, a correction must be made for attenuation in the atmosphere. This correction will be determined on an event-by-event basis by atmospheric sounding with a LIDAR. We report here on a "ground truth" concept to verify EUSO's measurements of intrinsic shower luminance.
