PROJECTS

The 'Sentinel-3 Hydrologic Altimetry Processor prototypE' project ( SHAPE )

Outline

The SHAPE project is funded by ESA through the Scientific Exploitation of Operational Missions (SEOM) Programme Element to prepare for the exploitation of Sentinel-3 data over the inland water domain (water heights and discharge).

The 'CryoSat SciEnce-oriented data ANalysis over Sea-ICE areas' project ( CSN )

Assess the potential for ESA products improvements.

Quality of surface types in the products
Analysis of freeboard SNR (could come from computation and gridding methods)
Impact of Delay Doppler Processing options onto height and freeboard measurements
Snow cover impact on freeboard measurement
Assess the benefits of dual band (Ku/Ka) to better detect and account for Snow Depth (CryoVex/Karen spring 2017 campaign)
