In recent years the possibility of using L-band space-borne radiometers for monitoring the Cryosphere has been investigated using data available from new space missions ((ESA SMOS and NASA Aquarius and SMAP). The interest in L-band relies on the very low absorption of ice at L-band and the low scattering by particles that are very small …
Living Planet Fellow Bas Altena from University of Oslo, gave a keynote talk during the Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research 2019 that took place between 16.06-2019-22.06.2019 in Obergurgl (Austria). This keynote revisited the techniques for observing the ice of our planet with daily cubesat imagery, and focused on how this new observational capacity allows …
The A+5 study belongs to the STSE ARCTIC+ cluster of projects and specifically contributes to the Year of Polar Prediction (YoPP). A+5 is constructing a flexible system for Arctic Mission Benefit Analysis (ArcMBA) that evaluates in a mathematically rigorous fashion the observational constraints imposed by individual and groups of EO (and in situ) data products …
