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 …

Hyper-BOOST

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 …

An adaptive method for estimating snow-covered fraction using EO data

Snow cover is an important component of the Earth’s cryosphere and plays a significant role in regulating the Earth’s climate and hydrological cycle. Accurate estimates of snow cover are essential for a range of applications, from climate modelling to water resource management. In a recently published study, researchers develop an adaptive method for estimating snow-covered …

Recommendations from 4th Carbon from Space workshop now published

While greenhouse gas emissions have continued to increase, significant progress has been made in estimating global and regional carbon budgets, especially in reducing carbon budget uncertainties and better quantifying emissions from different sources. Advances have also been made in understanding the interaction between cycles of carbon, water, and nitrogen and the effects of climate change …

Investigating nutrient composition of grains with EO data

Measuring nutrient composition in crops is an ever-increasing need in a global context where micronutrient malnutrition is affecting more than 2 billion people, i.e., more than 26% of the world’s population. Conventional, laboratory-based methods are far too costly to be applied on a large scale. A study, conducted in the framework of the EO Science …

EO4NUTRI: Earth Observation for estimating and predicting crop nutrients

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE (NL)

Background: Timely and large-area information on nutrient concentrations in staple crops is lacking which limits our understanding of how nutrients vary across various geographic areas. In the absence of this information, we cannot efficiently guide research activities dedicated to alleviating potential nutrient deficiencies through genetic biofortification or agronomic biofortification by applying fertilizers. Overall goal: EO4Nutri …

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 …
