Prototype Retrieval Algorithms Based on Synergistic Use of Microwave and Optical Imagers for land application

With the launch of the first Sentinel satellites, a new era in Earth Observation has started that allows for the development of new approaches that use these novel observations at high temporal frequencies and fine spatial resolution with complementary information from the optical and microwave spectral domains. One very important application for is the monitoring of crops.

APEL: Assessment of atmospheric optical Properties during biomass burning Events and Long-range transport of desert dust

The main scope of this activity was to foster the exchange of expertise between the European Lidar Network (EARLINET) and South American Lidar Network (LALINET), and demonstrate the capability of joint research, setting the groundwork for GALION (The Global Atmosphere Watch Aerosol Lidar Observation Network) and future Cal/Val of ESA’s atmospheric satellite missions such as Aeolus and EarthCARE.

Characterisation of the ionospheric environment at low latitudes, application to Biomass external calibration sites

BIOMASS is a polarimetric P-band (435 MHz) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in a dawn-dusk low Earth orbit. Its principal objective is to measure biomass content and biomass change in all the Earth’s forests. The mission launch is envisaged around 2020, for five-year duration. The ionosphere introduces Faraday rotation and scintillations on every pulse emitted by low- frequency SAR, impacting the quality of the imaging. Some of these effects are due to Total Electron Content (TEC) and its gradients along the propagation path.

Total electron content characterization study over Africa and application to BIOMASS mission (TECA)

This study aims to investigate a feasible regional TEC temporal fluctuations product derived from ground-based monitoring stations Western Sub Saharan African region. To assess how the existing ionospheric monitoring capabilities in that region can satisfy related requirements, for a selected science application and for Biomass external calibration.
