The work package 3 consists in the acquisition and the processing of
satellite data (altimeter, SST and winds fields).
As part of the MFS Pilot Project
(MFSPP) a near real time system of altimetry and SST was implemented. For
MFSTEP, the work mainly consists in the improvement of the altimeter and
SST system and in the extension of the system to the satellite winds data.
The main objectives are :
1) Improve the NRT altimeter system
·
Add new altimeter
and quantify their accuracy
·
Improvement of the
processing and merging
·
Calculation of a
mean dynamic topography
·
NRT processing and
analysis of altimeter data before, during and after the TOP (link to the
CLS ftp server )
Detailed
information and results
2) Improve the NRT SST system
·
Improvement of the
cloud detection
·
Development of
daily products
·
Impact of MSG
satellite
·
Impact of MSG
satellite
·
NRT processing
before, during and after the TOP (link to the IFA ftp server)
3) Analyse the contribution of scatterometry
to derive high resolution winds fields
·
Compilation of the
different satellite data sets
·
Validation of the wavenumber content of ECMWF winds fields (Data
Access)
·
Definition/test of
a methodology to combine the satellite wind fields with the ECMWF
·
Production of the gridded fields for TOP period (link
to the IFREMER ftp server)
