SMOS and extreme events
Experiments show that SMOS can help improve errors in extreme events forecast lead times by 36–72 hours in the extratropics.

Jan Wörner – Φ-week
If you look up the meaning of ɸ there is a long explanation, but at the end it says ‘ɸ is also used as a symbol for the golden ratio and on other occasions for maths and science’ and I would now add, ‘and in space’ – space for the future.
Insights into Φ
With over 700 participants from space investors and entrepreneurs to scientists, the Φ-week is exploring new opportunities and seeding ideas. Overall it’s aiming to exploit the ‘perfect storm’ created by the wealth of data now available from traditional satellite missions and small satellite constellations coupled with technological advances, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, virtual reality …
Ready for innovation? Get on-board at Φ-week
Three weeks to go before the start of the Φ-week event to take place at ESRIN, ESA’s Earth Observation centre in Frascati, Italy from 12-16 November 2018. The dense agenda is built around New Space with a special focus on EO. The event brings together emerging space Investors, tech leaders, start-ups and entrepreneurs with the space …
Replay the opening session of “25 years of progress in radar altimetry”
Replay the live-transmitted from the Azores opening session of an event where world-class scientists met to discuss the latest developments in our understanding of Earth’s surface variations observed by altimetry. Radar altimeters record the surface topography along the satellite’s ground track. They precisely measure a satellite’s height above water, land or ice by timing the …

New Achievements in Coastal Altimetry
SAR altimetry missions are boosting new developments in fields that exploit the quality of high-resolution products for sea surface topography, wave height, and wind speed. To review recent progress in and discuss future plans for altimetry technology at coasts, 88 scientists from 28 countries met at the 11th Coastal Altimetry Workshop earlier this summer. Read more …
