An ESA User Consultation Meeting (UCM) is being held during 7-9 March 2012 at Ifremer, Brest (France) to bring users and experts in the field of EO (calibration, validation, data merging, algorithm development) and service delivery together to present their detailed requirements for ocean surface current products and services.
Location: IFREMER, Brest, France
Date: 7-9 March 2012
Organisers: C.Donlon and O.Arino (ESA); B.Chapron (IFREMER), Local Organiser
The European Space Agency (ESA) is seeking to promote a wider use of ocean surface current measurements derived from all existing in situ and remote sensing sources including altimeters (ERS, ENVISAT and others), and SAR (ERS, ENVISAT and others), but also optical measurements (ENVISAT and others), sea surface temperature and salinity (SMOS and others) with future instruments including ESA Sentinels.
An ESA User Consultation Meeting (UCM) is being held during 7-9 March 2012 at Ifremer, Brest (France) to bring users and experts in the field of EO (calibration, validation, data merging, algorithm development) and service delivery together to present their detailed requirements for ocean surface current products and services. Conclusions and user-stated requirements from this meeting will be used to define the scope and develop guidelines for a potential ESA Data User Element (DUE, http://due.esrin.esa.int/) project "GlobCurrent" competitively funded by ESA. GlobCurrent will demonstrate the feasibility of a unified service for ocean surface currents linked to external user applications.
ESA are currently soliciting user papers and poster presentations for the UCM meeting. Registration and abstract submission for the event is free and open: details can be found at http://due.esrin.esa.int/news/news273.php. An agenda for the meeting will be available soon.
