Understanding climate change from space
This document describes ESA's Climate Change Initiative, and how it is intended to contribute towards monitoring and understanding the Earth's climate.
Two Years of ERS-1 Data Exploitation
This bulletin reports on the first two years of the ERS-1 satellite.
Transforming space data into climate action
ESA’s Earth observation activities are playing a key role in the revitalised global drive to combat climate change.
Towards More Efficient Use of Radar-Altimeter Data
Twenty years ago, experimental altimeters on NASA's Skylab and Geos-3 were already demonstrating the potential of such instrumentation. This led in turn to the development and launch by NASA in July 1978 of the Seasat oceanographic satellite mission. Both Geos-3 and Seasat were very successful in their pioneering missions, but were limited somewhat by poor coverage in the case of Geos-3 and an abnormally short mission duration in Seasat's case.

The-CEOS-Earth-Observation-Handbook-2008.pdf
This report presents the main capabilities of satellite Earth observations, their applications, and a systematic overview of present and planned Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) agency Earth observation satellite missions and their instruments. It also explores society's increasing need for information on our planet. This edition has a particular focus on climate change.
The-Calibration-of-the-ERS-1-Radar-Altimeter.pdf
This report describes the calibration of ERS-1's Radar Altimeter during the commissioning phase, which used Venice as a basis for calibration.

The Dragon Programme - ESA and China Cooperate in Earth Observation
This article describes the Dragon programme, a cooperation between ESA and the China's National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSCC) in thedevelopment of Earth Observation applications.
The Data User Element
This brochure describes ESA's Data User Element (DUE) programme, which aims to bring together user communities and actors from research institutes, industrial companies and other specialised fields. This collaborative approach ensures the transfer of valid and high quality demonstration products into sustainable environments which meet the practical and operational needs of the user communities .
