From science to operations for the Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer (CIMR) mission (POSTPONED)

May 10, 2021 - May 12, 2021
ESA-ESTEC, Keplerlaan 1
Noordwijk, Netherlands

In recent weeks Coronavirus (Covid-19) has become an international issue. Accordingly, we have postponed the CIMR Science to Operations Meeting (originally planned from 15 to 17 April 2020) to 10th to 12th of May 2021 at ESTEC subject to a favourable status of the Covid-19 situation at that time. We believe that this is in …

MOHeaCAN: Monitoring Ocean Heat Content and Earth Energy ImbalANce from Space

Prime company: MAGELLIUM (FR)

Since the industrial era, anthropogenic emissions of Greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere have lowered the total amount of infrared energy radiated by the Earth towards space. Now the Earth is emitting less energy towards space than it receives radiative energy from the sun. As a consequence there is an Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) at …

HYDROCOASTAL: COASTAL OCEAN AND INLAND WATER ALTIMETRY

Prime company: SATELLITE OCEANOGRAPHIC CONSULTANTS LTD. (GB)

HYDROCOASTAL is a project aimed at maximising the exploitation of SAR and SARIn altimeter measurements in the coastal zone and inland waters, by evaluating and implementing new approaches to process data from CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3. Optical data from Sentinel-2 MSI and Sentinel-3 OLCI instruments will also be used in generating River Discharge products. New SAR …

8th international symposium on gas transfer at water surfaces

May 19 - May 22
Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Prospect Pl
Plymouth, United Kingdom

The Gas Transfer at Water Surfaces (GTWS) meeting occurs every 5 years and brings together approximately 150 scientists from countries all over the world. The focus is on the physicochemical and biogeochemical processes that govern atmosphere-water gas exchange and fluxes, which include turbulence, shear,  breaking waves, bubbles and natural and anthropogenic surfactants. Biological and chemical …

SMOS+ Rainfall Ocean

Prime company: ARGANS LIMITED (GB)

Several recent studies have concluded that climate change causes major changes in the global water cycle. There is increasing evidence that part of the multi-decadal trends observed on the sea surface salinity (SSS) are due to changes in the global water cycle, e.g. the western tropical Pacific has become fresher and the subtropical North Atlantic …

Coral reefs in Fatu Huku island

The uninhabited coral reef island of Fatu Huku in the southeastern Marquesas Islands is explored in a brand new chapter of the Seafloor Geomorphology as Benthic Habitat (Second Edition) book, published by Elsevier. The discussion of the relationships between its benthic habitats and morphometry (bathymetry, slope, hotspots, and ecotones) is based on data collected and …

BICEP (Biological Pump and Carbon Exchange Processes)

Prime company: PLYMOUTH MARINE LABORATORY (GB)

The ocean carbon cycle is a vital part of the global carbon cycle. It has been estimated that around a quarter of anthropogenically-produced emissions of CO2, caused from the burning of fossil fuels and land use change, have been absorbed by the ocean. On the other hand, significant advances have been made recently to expand …

CYMS (Scaling-up Cyclone Monitoring Service with Sentinel-1)

Prime company: CLS COLLECTE LOCALISATION SATELLITES (FR)

Tropical Cyclone (TC) observations over the global ocean are a key component in extreme events monitoring and in anticipating appropriate risk mitigation and emergency response at landfall. In particular, the Tropical Cyclone Programme (TCP) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), allows tropical cyclone forecasters to access various sources that provide conventional and specialized data/products, including …
