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 …
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 …
Services based on Earth Observation (EO) can provide valuable information during the design stage by providing a long time series of wind data that allows a better assessment and characterization of the wind resource energy production potential of different possible wind farm (WF) sites, helping to select the most advantageous ones. These typical site wind …
The European Week of Regions and Cities is an annual event during which cities and regions come together to discuss common challenges, exchange ideas on possible solutions, share experiences and good practices. It’s an opportunity for establishing cooperation and networking. The 2020 (18th) edition focused on the following themes: Green Europe Cohesion and Cooperation Empowering …
