World ocean circulation user consultation meeting 2019

February 21, 2019 - February 22, 2019
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

The large variety of EO data from instruments in orbit, used in synergy, constitute a wealth of information to advance our understanding and estimation of the upper layer of the World Ocean Circulation. Accurate knowledge of the latter at all time and space scales is of growing importance to many scientific, operational and commercial applications. This event …

Chaotic ocean variability can mask regional sea level trends

Regional sea level trends present large spatial patterns caused by natural variability (changes in winds, air-sea flux etc.) along with anthropogenic influences in the atmosphere. These sea level trends can be partially masked by random oceanic processes. Global mean sea level rise is one of the most direct consequences of the on-going global warming. Based …

SAR Altimetry Coastal & Open Ocean Performance (SCOOP)

Prime company: SATELLITE OCEANOGRAPHIC CONSULTANTS LTD. (GB)

SCOOP (SAR Altimetry Coastal & Open Ocean Performance) is a project funded under the ESA SEOM (Scientific Exploitation of Operational Missions) Programme Element, started in September 2015, to characterise the expected performance of Sentinel-3 SRAL SAR mode altimeter products, in the coastal zone and open ocean, and then to develop and evaluate enhancements to the …

BALTIC+ Sea-Land biogeochemical linkages (SeaLaBio)

Prime company: FINNISH ENVIRONMENT INSTITUTE (SYKE) (FI)

The overall goal of the ESA funded project Baltic+ SeaLaBio (Sea-Land Biogeochemical linkages) running from Dec 2018 to May 2020 is to develop methods for assessing carbon dynamics and eutrophication in the Baltic Sea through integrated use of EO, models, and ground-based data The poor state of the Baltic Sea again became apparent during summer …

Measuring CO2 across the Atlantic

Royal Research Ship James Clark Ross started its roughly 4000 miles, 40 days voyage across the Atlantic Ocean at the end of September. It has been carrying out in situ measurements with an array of instruments including above-water radiometric optical sensors that measure upwelling radiance from the sea surface for validation of satellite ocean colour, …

Replay the opening session of “25 years of progress in radar altimetry”

Replay the live-transmitted from the Azores opening session of an event where world-class scientists met to discuss the latest developments in our understanding of Earth’s surface variations observed by altimetry. Radar altimeters record the surface topography along the satellite’s ground track. They precisely measure a satellite’s height above water, land or ice by timing the …

New Achievements in Coastal Altimetry

SAR altimetry missions are boosting new developments in fields that exploit the quality of high-resolution products for sea surface topography, wave height, and wind speed. To review recent progress in and discuss future plans for altimetry technology at coasts, 88 scientists from 28 countries met at the 11th Coastal Altimetry Workshop earlier this summer.

1992-2017 Ocean Heat Flux Time Series

We are pleased to announce that the OceanHeat project team has released a new data set of ocean turbulent heat fluxes estimated from various remotely sensed data. The determination of latent and sensible heat fluxes as well as of the related bulk variables, is based on the use of the European Space Agency (ESA) Ocean Heat …
