Developing systematic SAR backscatter tools for volcanic monitoring (VOLCSCATTER)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL (GB)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Edna Dualeh. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter can provide crucial information about the progression of a volcanic eruption,regardless of the time of day or environmental conditions (e.g., cloud coverage). SAR backscatter is dependent on the surface scattering properties, which can be altered during a volcanic eruption through the emplacement …

F-BURST – mapping of Field -aligned currents in the ionosphere and BURSTYbulk flows in the magnetotail.

Prime company: SWEDISH INSTITUTE OF SPACE PHYSICS (SE)

FBURST aims at better understanding the ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling based on multi-spacecraft observations that can monitor the status of the high latitude ionospheric field aligned current system (FAC) and the conditions in the geomagnetic tail. In particular, this project focusses on the fast plasma jets detected at more than 60000 km from the Earth in the …

JOule heating effects on Ionosphere-thermosphere coupling and Neutral density (JOIN)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF OULU (FI)

Understanding the detailed spatial and temporal dynamics of the space environment is a key task in solar-terrestrial research. This is also a fundamental requisite for providing successful space weather forecasts, such as predicting changes in atmospheric drag experienced by satellites at low-Earth orbits (LEO). The high-latitude auroral ionosphere is connected by magnetic field lines to …

QUID-REGIS

Prime company: DLR – GERMAN AEROSPACE CENTER (DE)

The day-to day variability of quiet-time ionosphere is surprisingly high even during periods of negligible solar forcing. Relatively well understood is the high-latitude variability where the solar wind is directly driving the high latitude currents, convection electric field or polar aurorae. But the current understanding does not allow to accurately model the ionospheric state during …

InSAR Services for Key Hungarian Market Sectors

Prime company: DATelite (HU)

This activity is the continuation of an previously-completed ESA project (“PASTA: Phenomena-Aware Spatial and TemporAl Clustering”). The overall objective is to develop a software tool providing higher-level solutions for automated interferometric data analysis and interpretation, geared mainly to key Hungarian users. The precursor project had successfully performed the user consultations and defined a number of …

eXperimental jOint inveRsioN

Prime company: GEOMATICS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (IT)

The Earth crust represents less than 1% of the volume of our planet but is exceptionally important as it preserves the signs of the geological events that shaped the Earth. This thin layer is the place where the natural resources we need can be accessed (e.g. minerals, critical raw materials, geothermal energy, fresh water, hydrocarbons). …

A new type of magnetic wave unveiled by Swarm

Combining satellite measurements from Swarm, as well as from the earlier German Champ mission and Danish Ørsted mission, with a computer model of the geodynamo, a new type of magnetic wave, with a 7 year period, and a westward drift at phase speed of 1500km/year, has been mapped at the Earth’s core-mantle boundary. Such Magneto-Coriolis …
