Development and inter-comparison of algorithms for validating the radiometry of Sentinel-2 Level-1 products.According to the definition used by the Working Group on Calibration and Validation (WGCV) of the international Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), validation is the process of assessing, by independent means, the quality of the data products derived from the system outputs. …
The European Space Agency is organising POLinSAR 2019, the 9th International Workshop on Science and Applications of SAR Polarimetry and Polarimetric Interferometry. The Workshop is open to: ESA Principal Investigators, scientists and students working in the field of SAR Polarimetry and Polarimetric Interferometry; Users of Copernicus data as well as national SAR missions Representatives from National, European …
This workshop will assess the opportunities for Atlantic region focussed EO research and development, downstream activities and ICT evolution, which may be the basis for future ESA investments to address some of the key information needs of this important area. These opportunities will be framed with respect to emerging Earth science, development of novel applications, …
The Mediterranean Sea region is surrounded by 22 countries, which together share a coastline of 46000 km. About 250 million people resides in coastal hydrological basins and a 50% population growth was reported in 20 years at the end of the 90’s. Fragility and vulnerability of the Mediterranean system is well known and since the …
In the context of the EO Science for Society Programme Element, the European Space Agency is organising ATMOS-2018, a conference on the topical theme Atmosphere aimed at exploiting data from ESA and EO Missions for science and application development. The purpose of this conference is to provide scientists and data users with the opportunity to …
The DeDop3 project provides the scientific community with the means to understand and use low level altimetry data and to become involved in how these data are processed. This is achieved by providing them with a Fully Adaptable and Configurable DeDop and a friendly user interface (a tool) to help them to interact with DeDop processor. …
High atmospheric CO2 levels may lead to acidification of the ocean with severe consequences on marine ecosystems. Estimates of CO2 fluxes at the air-sea interface strongly depend on the availability of partial pressure of CO2 at the surface ocean (pCO2), which is a critical parameter for a detailed study of the mechanisms involved in the ocean-atmosphere CO2 …
An exciting week, bringing to ESA-ESRIN in Italy hundreds of participants from all over the world to explore innovation, new technologies and cross-disciplinary cooperation, just came to an end. Replay at your pace the ESA video highlights and the live streamed sessions, directly accessible from the agenda: Monday 12 November 09:00–10:30 Opening Session – Space …
The European Space Agency (ESA) is organising a Φ-week event focusing on EO Open Science and FutureEO – to review the latest developments in Open Science trends and kick-start innovative activities of the recently created Φ-department looking at FutureEO, and its associated Φ-lab aiming to identify, support and scale bold EO ideas. Come and hear about …
