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 …

OCEANUS: OCEAN sUrface reconstruction from the synergy of Sentinel 3 observations

Ocean currents are a key component to understanding many oceanic and climatic phenomena and furthermore the knowledge we have of them is crucial for navigation and operational applications. Therefore, a key problem in oceanography is the estimation of the synoptic (or “big picture”, large-scale, simultaneous conditions over a broad area) velocity field. Thanks to satellite …

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 …
