GHRSST International Science Team (G-XX)

June 3 - June 7
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

On the occasion of the 20th meeting of the GHRSST International Science Team, this event will focus on future perspectives for GHRSST – most notably with respect to a mix of microwave and thermal infrared satellite capability. The purpose of the meeting is to: Bring together scientific and operational SST users and producers to review progress …

Satellite Oceanographic Datasets for Acidification (OceanSODA)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF EXETER (GB)

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution humans have released approximately 500 billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, cement production and land-use changes. About 30% of this carbon dioxide (CO2) has been taken up by the oceans, largely by the dissolution of this CO2 into seawater and subsequent reactions …

Arctic + Salinity

Prime company: ARGANS LIMITED (GB)

Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) is a key indicator of the freshwater fluxes and an important variable to understand the changes the Arctic is facing. However, salinity in-situ measurements are very sparse in the Arctic region. For this reason, remote sensing salinity measurements (currently provided by L-band radiometry satellites, SMOS and SMAP) are of special relevance …

Marco Bellacicco

Since the beginning of his studies, Marco had a particular interest on the Ocean and its relation to the climate change. For this reason, he decided to study Biology and, especially, Ecology by taking several classes related to the marine ecosystem and dynamics. The thesis for his Bachelor degree was about fishery and aquaculture, evaluating …

William Llovel

William is a post-doctoral researcher working at LEGOS located in Toulouse, France.  His research interests are investigating sea level change at global and regional scales. William particularly focuses his investigations on interannual to long-term changes. The main scientific questions of his research are: how is sea level changing? And why is sea level changing? To …

EARTH SYSTEM DATA LAB (ESDL)

Prime company: BROCKMANN CONSULT GMBH (DE)

The main objective of the Earth System Data Lab (ESDL) project is to establish and operate a service to the scientific community that greatly facilitates access and exploitation of the multivariate data set in the ESDL and by this means advances the understanding of the interactions between the ocean-land-atmosphere system and society. To this end, …

Atlantic Meridional Transect Ocean Flux from satellite campaign (AMT4OceanSatFlux)

Prime company: UK RESEARCH AND INNOVATION (GB)

This project estimates of the air-sea flux of CO2 calculated from a suite of satellite products over a range of Atlantic Ocean provinces. It deploys state-of-the-art eddy co-variance methods to provide independent verification of satellite estimates of CO2 gas exchange over the Atlantic Ocean. The project provides Fiducial Reference Measurements from the AMT28 field campaign …

PHYSIOGLOB: Assessing the inter-annual physiological response of phytoplankton to global warming using long-term satellite observations

Prime company: ITALIAN NATIONAL AGENCY FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES, ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (ENEA) (IT)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Marco Bellacicco. Phytoplankton is considered to be responsible for approximately 50% of the planetary primary production and is at the basis of the trophic chain. Large scale factors such as climate, ocean circulation, and mostly anthropogenic activities, affect phytoplankton biomass and distribution. For all of these reasons, …

OVALIE: Oceanic intrinsic Variability versus Atmospheric forced variabiLIty of sea level changE

Prime company: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS) (FR)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by William Llovel. Global mean sea level rise is one of the most direct consequences of actual global warming. Since the beginning of the 20th century, global mean sea level experiences an unabated increase of 1.1-1.9 mm.yr-1 recorded by tide gauges. Based on satellite altimetry and since 1993, …
