In this video, Tommaso Parrinello - Aeolus and CryoSat Mission Manager - talks about ESA's ice mission, describing:

  • What ESA's ice mission does
  • What CryoSat has contributed in more than 13 years of operations
  • His most rewarding results from the mission
  • Who are the main users of CryoSat data

Tommaso describes just a few of the game-changing satellite's achievements, including extending the record of sea ice altimetry, the CRYO2ICE campaign with NASA's ICESat-2, and revelations about how much Antarctica and Greenland contribute to sea level rise.
