Event - Workshop
Workshop on International Cooperation in Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy
The workshop aimed to recommend future international coordination permitting cooperation in the deployment, operation, and exploitation of space-based imaging spectrometers for terrestrial and coastal scientific and operational applications.
Campaign
WISE
The objective of WInd and Salinity Experiment 2001 (WISE 2001) campaign was to get more data points and better wind speed measurements.

Validation Report following the 3rd MERIS data reprocessing
This document prepared by the MERIS Quality Working Group (QWG) corresponds to the Validation Report following the 3rd MERIS data reprocessing. It aims at qualifying and quantifying the accuracy of the MERIS L2 products generated with the version 8.0 of MERIS Ground Segment prototype (MEGS), delivered to the whole community through the ODESA software (http://earth.eo.esa.int/odesa/). It is equivalent to version 6.0 of the Instrument Processing Facilities (IPF) at ESRIN.

Topographic mapping from small satellites- a case study of CHRIS-PROBA data
This paper presents a study on the use of various empirical models for satellite orientation and terrain modelling using multidirectional CHRIS data, and evaluates the potential of small satellites with multidirectional viewing capabilities for topographic mapping.
Document - Technical Note
The Status of the SCIAMACHY Active Thermal Control (ATC)
The Active Thermal Control System (ATC) is providing thermal stability to SCIAMACHY's optical bench module (OBM). Over the past 10 years in-orbit mission lifetime the ATC has proven extremely reliable. Although regular monitoring has revealed some degradation ??? less than what was predicted before launch ??? only a single adjustment was necessary so far to keep the OBM temperature within the specified limit. The ATC adjustment occurred in October 2008 in orbit 34643 [RD1 with referencing RD3-RD6].
