SwellStats – Unfolding the Sea State Bias: Isolating a physical mechanism causing swell dependence of SAR altimeters

Prime company: ISARDSAT S.L. (ES)

The Unfolding the Sea State Bias: Isolating a physical mechanism causing swell dependence of SAR altimeters (SwellStats) project is a project funded by ESA aiming at improving the reliability of the estimates of the sea surface’s geophysical parameters made by SAR altimetry processing, increasing its value to assess informed climate-related decisions.  Estimates of the geophysical …

HyperBOOST

Prime company: Plymouth Marine Laboratory (GB)

In situ bio-optical datasets are essential for the assessment of the uncertainties of satellite ocean colour measurements and derived products. This is especially critical in coastal waters (between 200m and 5km distance from the coastline), where land adjacency effects, complex atmospheric aerosol mixtures, high loads of optically active components in particular high concentration of chromophoric …

PACIFIC

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

Global mean sea level (GMSL) is considered one of the leading indicators of global climate change as it reflects changes taking place in different components of the climate system. Present-day sea level rise and its acceleration, currently estimated by high-precision satellite altimetry measurements, are primarily driven by anthropogenic global warming, more specifically by ocean warming-induced …

Untangling the ocean biological carbon pump

The BICEP project is an innovative effort to better understand the biological carbon pump in the oceans using satellite data. By mapping the distribution of phytoplankton and other satellite-based products of different pools and fluxes of biological carbon in the surface ocean, the project seeks to improve our understanding of the role of the ocean …

EO for a Resilient Society: Intertidal Topography Mapping in the temporal domain (SAR-TWL), towards operationalisation of a global monitoring tool.

Prime company: National Oceanography Centre (NOC) (GB)

Intertidal zones form an interface between land and sea. They are important features of the coastal landscape providing a multitude of ecosystem services and forming a critical habitat for a wide range of species. Satellite Earth Observation (EO) unlocks new capabilities for monitoring intertidal zones, which are under significant pressure from multiple sources including coastal …
