GLOBICESea Ice Dynamics for Climate Research

Sea ice motion and deformation mapping

Seasonal cycle of sea ice in the Arctic

Long-term changes in the cryosphere e.g. extent, volume and flux of sea ice, based on 14 year archive of ERS and ENVISAT (more than 500 000 SAR scenes)

GLOBCOLOUR, Global Ocean Colour for Carbon Cycle Research

Development and demonstration of an EO-based service supporting global ocean carbon cycle research.

Provision of a long time-series (1997-2006) of consistently calibrated global ocean colour information, according to requirements specified by the global ocean colour user community

Demonstration NRT service for operational users

Based on merging MERIS, POLDER, SeaWIFS, and MODIS to provide the best possible coverage.

Will test different data merging approaches

Two user workshops planned
