Within the framework of the Dragon Programme, ESA and NRSCC are providing a
series of advanced thematic training courses on remote sensing applications
hosted by university and research institutions in P.R. China. The first of such
courses was held in 2004 on ocean applications, a second course in 2005 on land
applications and a third course was held in 2006 in atmospheric remote sensing.
In 2007 as part of this initiative, PhD students, post-doctoral and research
scientists from P.R. China and other Asian countries interested in Ocean remote
sensing applications are invited to attend a 6 day advanced training course in
the subject. The objectives of this advanced Dragon training course are:
- To stimulate and support the exploitation of ESA EO and TPM
remote sensing data for ocean applications
- Introduce available software tools and methods for the exploitation of
ERS, Envisat, TPM and Explorer mission satellite data
The course will be hosted by the State Key Laboratory of Satellite Ocean
Environment Dynamics, Second Institute of Oceanography, State Oceanic
Administration, Hangzhou, P.R.China.

The training course is devoted to applications of ESA EO data and
information retrieval for China seas using optical, SAR and radar
altimeter data. However product examples will also be provided for other
areas of the world if applicable. The following disciplines and
subjects will be covered:
Lectures on:
- Teaching of remote sensing principles in ocean colour, SAR,
altimetry and Sea Surface Temperature (SST)
- Retrieval and validation of geo-physical parameters
- Exploitation of instruments' synergy
- Advances in remote sensing over China seas
- EO and other data / model assimilation
Practical sessions
on:
- Data access and handling
- Usage of software tools for examining data sets from the MERIS,
RA,
ERS
SAR, ASAR
and (A)ATSR
instruments
- Interpretation of signatures from these instruments and their
transformation into geo-physical products

Overview of
6 day advanced training programme in Ocean remote sensing
DAY 1
The opening session shall be dedicated to welcome and presentations by SOED
SIO, NRSCC, and ESA officials. Background on access to current and future
Chinese and ESA satellite
missions in Ocean remote sensing will be given. Dragon lead investigators
from Europe and P.R. China will provide results and achievements on the Dragon
Oceanography from Space project.
DAYS 2 to 5
These days will be dedicated to lectures and practical sessions from the
MERIS, AATSR, ASAR and RA instruments. One day will be dedicated to each of the
instruments. There will be a 50:50 split between lectures and practical sessions
with 1.5h for lectures followed by 1.5 hrs for practical sessions morning and
afternoon.
- MERIS ocean color
principles, atmospheric correction and water constituents
retrieval algorithms, products and applications.
- SAR principles,
data products and applications including oil pollution, ship detection, wave
and wind field retrievals, oceanic eddies and fronts, underwater bottom
topography, sea ice monitoring.
- AATSR
principles, atmospheric correction algorithms, comparison of
microwave and infrared techniques for SST measurements, AATSR applications for
oceanography.
- RA
principles, atmospheric and geophysical corrections, algorithm for
sea level, wave height and wind observations, and applications relevant for
large scale and coastal oceanography.
DAY 6
The morning of the final day will cover lectures on data assimilation, data
synergy and data validation. This will be followed by a course summary session
and the official closing plenary session in the afternoon.
LECTURERS
Leading scientists in ocean remote sensing from Europe and China will give a
series of lectures and conduct hands-on practical sessions focused on processing
and product generation using data from the ERS and Envisat satellites.
