BathySent – An Innovative Method to Retrieve Global Coastal Bathymetry from Sentinel-2

Prime company: BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GEOLOGIQUES ET MINIERES (BRGM) (FR)

The BathySent project aims at the development of an automated method for mapping coastal bathymetry (water depths) on the basis of Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission. The interest of using Sentinel-2 data lies on the capacity to cover large areas (National and European scale targeted), while benefiting from the high repeat cycle (5 days) of the mission. …

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, …

Living Planet Fellows at EGU2019

The annual European Geosciences Union General Assembly is the largest and most prominent European geosciences event. Annually, it attracts over 14,000 scientists from all over the world, of which more than half are early career scientists. The EGU General Assembly 2019, taking place in Vienna (Austria) on 7–12 April 2019, will bring together geoscientists from …

Sentinel-3 keeps watch on Antarctic ice loss

The loss of ice from Antarctica is one of the principal causes of contemporary sea level rise. Tracking the changes that are currently occurring across this remote and inaccessible continent requires systematic satellite monitoring programmes. From these unique observational platforms, robust long-term climate records can be developed, which help scientists to understand and to predict …

INTENS – Characterization of IoNospheric TurbulENce level by Swarm constellation

Prime company: ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DI GEOFISICA E VULCANOLOGIA (IT)

The purpose of the project is to investigate the turbulent nature of geomagnetic field and plasma parameters (electron density and temperature) in the ionosphere as recorded by the Swarm constellation during a period of 4 years (from 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2018). Specifically, fluctuations of these quantities, as well as their scaling features, …

DACES – Detection of Anthropogenic CO2 Emissions Sources

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

The project aims at developing a new methodology for detecting anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission sources. CO2 data from OCO-2 and NO2, SO2 and CO data from Sentinel-5P are collocated. The plan is to analyze these data in synergy to better detect anthropogenic CO2 sources and plumes. In detail OCO-2 XCO2 data is deseasonalized and detrended, …

SUNLIT – Synergy of Using Nadir and Limb Instruments for Tropospheric ozone monitoring

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

The SUNLIT project aimed at developing new global tropospheric ozone datasets using combination of total ozone column from OMI and TROPOMI with stratospheric ozone column dataset from several available limb-viewing instruments (MLS, OSIRIS, MIPAS, SCIAMACHY, OMPS-LP, GOMOS). The novelty of the SUNLIT approach is using measurements from several satellite instruments in limb-viewing geometry for deriving …

MethEO – Methane emissions in the Northern Hemisphere by applying both data from Earth Observing (EO) satellites and global atmospheric methane inversion model estimates

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

The project will investigate Northern Hemisphere methane (CH4) sources and their connection to the soil freezing and thawing at high latitudes. We will innovatively combine methods for monitoring of CH4 (methane) emissions in the Northern Hemisphere by applying both data from Earth Observing (EO) satellites and global atmospheric methane inversion model estimates. The EO data …

Warming up for the use of remote precipitation measurements at high latitudes

A good aircraft heating was necessary to secure proper functioning of the on-board instrumentation during the airborne campaign that took place last November in the Arctic, flying between Ottawa and Iqaluit. The campaign exploited several radars and lidars to measure cloud particles and precipitation by looking at signals bouncing off ice crystals and water droplets …
