Download specific blocks here below. Day 1 – Monday 7th September – Opening: The SMOS mission (theory), NReul (21 MB) Ocean Salinity …
The remote training will employ the ESA SNAP Sentinel-1 Toolbox to demonstrate ship detection as an example of maritime surveillance using Sentinel-1 satellite-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). The session will consist of a live demonstration, followed by a time to repeat the exercise on pre-configured RUS Virtual Machines with live support from the RUS EO …
Two research fellowship opportunities are currently open for applicants who have recently completed, or are close to completing a PhD in a related technical or scientific discipline: Earth System Science Ocean Science Deadline for application is 12 March 2021.
A new product from “altimetry-gravimetry”, developed within the MOHeaCAN project, is now available for download. It contains monthly time series (between August 2002 and June 2017) of several variables, the main ones being the regional Ocean Heat Content (OHC) (3°x3° spatial resolution grids), the global OHC and the Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) indicator. Uncertainties are …
The foundation of the S6-JTEX study is the detection, characterisation, mitigation and exploitation of differences, discrepancies and measurement features captured in the Level 1 and Level 2 products available from Sentinel6-Michael Freilich (S6-MF), Jason-3 and other satellite, in situ and model data. The S6-JTEX project is designed to perform a first end-to-end (E2E) analysis and …
This activity responds to the following drivers: This ITT is part of the ESA Atlantic Regional Initiative aiming at providing a dedicated response to the community recommendations collected at the Atlantic from Space Workshop organised by ESA in January 2019. Activities resulting from this ITT will be an integral part of the ESA Ocean Science …
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 …
