Satellite Ocean Colour: Current Status and Future Perspective

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Spectrally resolved water-leaving radiances (ocean colour) and inferred chlorophyll concentration are key to studying phytoplankton dynamics at seasonal and inter-annual scales, for a better understanding of the role of phytoplankton in marine ...

The ESA Climate Change Initiative: Satellite Data Records for Essential Climate Variables [PDF]

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2013
Observations of Earth from space have been made for over 40 years and have contributed to advances in many aspects of climate science. However, attempts to exploit this wealth of data are often hampered by a lack of homogeneity and continuity and by insufficient understanding of the products and their uncertainties.

An Uncertainty Quantified Fundamental Climate Data Record for Microwave Humidity Sounders

Remote Sensing, 2019
To date, there is no long-term, stable, and uncertainty-quantified dataset of upper tropospheric humidity (UTH) that can be used for climate research. As intermediate step towards the overall goal of constructing such a climate data record (CDR) of UTH ...

Quantification of structural uncertainty in climate data records from GPS radio occultation [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013
Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) has provided continuous observations of the Earth's atmosphere since 2001 with global coverage, all-weather capability, and high accuracy and vertical resolution in the upper troposphere and lower ...
