Satellite data central to ocean monitoring
Over 95% of Earth’s water is found in our oceans, and yet sadly, oceans are under stress from climate change and pollution. Monitoring our oceans is vital for Earth’s survival and satellites are the primary means of long-term and independent observation of our vast ocean bodies and their associated coastal zones.

ERS-1-SAR-Radiometric-Calibration.pdf
This paper describes the status of the ERS-1 SAR radiometric calibration with updated measurements on the radiometric stability. The calibration measurements arc performed using the transponders deployed by ESA/ESTEC in Flevoland, The Netherlands. The calibration measurements are the result of a joint effort between the ESA Processing and Archiving Facilities (PAF) and the ERS Central Facility at ESA/ESRIN.
