Seasat
The instrument had the objectives of the determination of sea surface profiles, currents, wind speeds and wave heights.
The Earth Observation Handbook, 2010 Update - Key Tables
This is the 2010 update of the CEOS Earth Observation Handbook. You can browse the live database at http://database.eohandbook.com/ or download the printable PDF of key tables based on the 2010 database contents for a handy reference.
Seasat Objectives
wealth of information on diverse ocean phenomena such as sea-surface winds and temperatures, surface and internal waves, currents
Coastal and Marine Applications of SAR Workshop 2003
Applications were specifically focussed on wind, waves, sea ice, and currents.
SHARK Technical Reference Manual
The SHARK Technical Reference Manual provides detailed information on the organisation and workings of the SHARK Software Environment and the hardware on which it runs. SHARK is a standalone system that processes HRPT data transmitted from the TlROS-N/NOAA polar orbiting meteorological satellites.
COP26 fuels interest in satellite data
operational and non-operational ESA missions provide long-term Earth observational records, giving essential context to current
SeaSat-SAR-IPF-Data-and-Processing-Issues.pdf
This document describes the rehabilitation and reprocessing of ESA’s historic SeaSat raw data archive.
Heritage Missions brochure
This brochure describes ESA's Heritage Space Programme and includes infographics describing some of the missions in the programme.
PREMIER-Report-for-Mission-Selection-An-Earth-Explorer-to-observe-atmospheric-composition.pdf
The objective of the PREMIER mission is to quantify the processes controlling global atmospheric composition in the mid/upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (5-25 km height range), which is a region of particular importance for climate change.
BIOMASS-Report-for-Mission-Selection-An-Earth-Explorer-to-observe-forest-biomass.pdf
The objective of the BIOMASS Mission is to determine the global distribution of forest biomass by reducing the uncertainty in the calculation of carbon stock and fluxes associated with the terrestrial biosphere.
CoReH2O-Report-for-Mission-Selection-An-Earth-Explorer-to-observe-snow-and-ice.pdf
This report describes the CoReH2O (Cold Regions Hydrology high-resolution Observatory) mission, which was selected for feasibility study in the third cycle of Earth Explorers.
The International Charter- Space and Major Disasters
The Charter is an important step forward in linking the needs of disaster and relief organisations with space technology solutions to help mitigate the effects of disaster on human life, property and the environment.
A stroll through Heritage Missions
In the current digital era, this confirms ESA’s commitment to maintain heritage data and keep information available, in support
JERS-SeaSat-SAR-Level-1-products-format-specifications.pdf
This document defines the Envisat and GEOTIFF/TIFF format of the L1 products generated from JERS/SeaSat SAR sensor data by the ESA JERS SAR Instrument Processing Facility.
JERS-SeaSat-SAR-Products-CEOS-Format-Specifications.pdf
This document defines the format of the SAR RAW, PRI, IMM and SLC products generated from JERS-1 and SeaSat SAR data by the ESA JERS and SeaSat SAR Instrument Processing Facilities.
The Earthnet Programme: 40 years of evolution and future challenges
Ampex tape recorders used by TV industry and computers with relatively low power and little memory size in comparison to current
AVHRR-Handbook.pdf
The AVHRR user handbook provides details about the content of the consolidated and harmonised data set archived at ESA facilities.
The SeaSat-A Synthetic Aperture Radar System
The SeaSat-A synthetic aperture radar imaging radar system (SAR) was the first imaging radar system used as a scientific instrument from Earth orbit. The system generated continuous radar imagery with a 100 km swath at a resolution of 25 m from an 800 km altitude orbit. The imagery is a pictorial representation of the radar backscatter of the Earth's surface in a map-like representation.
ESA's improved Earth system data records: what is in store for the future?
The current focus is on spectral windows in the Ultraviolet-Visible-Near Infrared regions for the retrieval of atmospheric
