In situ bio-optical datasets are essential for the assessment of the uncertainties of satellite ocean colour measurements and derived products. This is especially critical in coastal waters (between 200m and 5km distance from the coastline), where land adjacency effects, complex atmospheric aerosol mixtures, high loads of optically active components in particular high concentration of chromophoric …
The European Space Agency, in the context of the “FutureEO – Earth Observation Science for Society” Programme, and the World Climate Research Program are organising the Earth Energy Imbalance Assessment workshop, which will be hosted ad a hybrid event at ESA-ESRIN, Frascati (Rome), Italy, Monday 15 to Wednesday 17 May 2023. TARGET AUDIENCE …
The BICEP project is an innovative effort to better understand the biological carbon pump in the oceans using satellite data. By mapping the distribution of phytoplankton and other satellite-based products of different pools and fluxes of biological carbon in the surface ocean, the project seeks to improve our understanding of the role of the ocean …
Ifremer and ESA are organizing an International Workshop on Marine-Atmosphere Extreme Events that will take place from 3-5 April 2023 at Ifremer, BREST, FRANCE. This workshop is being organized in the frame of the ESA Marine-Atmosphere eXtreme Satellite Synergy (MAXSS) project, whose objective is to maximize the synergetic use of Earth Observation data to improve …
The ESA Ocean Science Cluster is an emerging concept whose objective is to promote collaborative research among the different projects and scientific activities ESA has been investing in the recent years, with the objective to enhance our observing capability and scientific understanding of the oceans and coastal regions. This new concept is to be supported …

ESA, together with OceanDataLab, Ifremer and NERSC is organizing a World Ocean Circulation User Consultation Meeting (UCM), to be held from 10 to 12 October 2022 in ESA-ESRIN, Frascati, Italy. It aims at presenting the main outcomes of the ESA World Ocean Circulation (WOC) project and at preparing a roadmap for new initiatives on ocean circulation …
Earth Observation Advanced science Tools for Sea level Extreme Events (EOatSEE) is a project funded by ESA and proposed by a consortium of institutions and companies that are internationally recognized for their work in the Marine, Coastal and Earth Observation topics. It aims to provide an advanced reconstruction of the relevant processes included in extreme …
A catalogue of publicly available geoscience products, datasets and resources developed in the frame of scientific research projects funded by ESA EO. Products vary in geographical and temporal extent, production methodology, validation and quality.
The EarthConsole® Altimetry Virtual Lab, funded by ESA, aims at providing a virtual space to: Support the Altimetry community in the development & operation of new Earth Observation applications; Foster collaboration by leveraging on knowledge-sharing tools. The Altimetry Virtual Lab has been developed on the new EarthConsole® platform and hosts the SARvatore (SAR Versatile Altimetric TOolkit for Research & Exploitation) family …
