  3. Ongoing Development RA Individual Echoes and S-band (CLS) S-band calibration RA Individual Echoes and S-band (NOCS) River and Lake Level (DMU) Basic Radar Altimeter Toolbox (BRAT) (CLS) Radar Altimeter Tutorial (RAT) Goce User Toolbox Specification (GUTS) (DNSC) Merging Radar Altimeter and Goce products for absolute ocean circulation in a Toolbox Project Synthesis Document Available to all Refers to User Req., Trade-off Study, Toolbox Specs Documents, all available to all. Beginning Toolbox implementation next month Altimetry Development Contracts CZ RA WS- Pisa- 26 June, 2007

  5. Starting this year RA-2 Individual Echoes Creating a RAIES User Group - Web site- Data access Altimetry Corrected Elevations 2nd Generation Correcting STRM with RA-, adding all recent RA data Creating “corrected” 1 km, 300m, 90m Global DEMs ACE version1 was recommended by CEOS-TMWG (11/2003) River and Lake Follow-on RA performance over inland water Assimilation in hydrological models In-situ data for Stage/Discharge relations CryoSat SAR mode retracking over ocean, inland water and coastal zone RA Coastal Zone retrieval improvement Study GUT (GOCE Toolbox implementation) SUIT (SMOS Interactive user Toolbox) Altimetry Development Contracts CZ RA WS- Pisa- 26 June, 2007

  6. RA Coastal Zone retrieval improvement Study 1. Level 2 Coastal zone radar altimetry product requirement 2. Geophysical corrections in the oceanic coastal zone 3. Retracking Model development 4. Level 2 Coastal zone radar altimetry product specification 5. Level 2 Coastal zone processor prototyping 6. Validation and performance assessment 7. Outreach (web site content, sample data, publication) An Open tender to be opened end july until mid october. Altimetry Development Contracts CZ RA WS- Pisa- 26 June, 2007

  8. On-going AOs involve more than 1200 projects. 200 Projects using ERS or Envisat Altimeter The Category-1 data access continuous submission mechanism witnesses a growing success, with currently 25 proposals submitted monthly and more than 1000 projects already. Cat-1 data access is supported by the EO PI web portal: http://eopi.esa.int EO Scientific Data Exploitation CZ RA WS- Pisa- 26 June, 2007

  9. The EO PI portal is increasingly popular. Practical information includes stories about “PIs of the month”, round tables on scientific topic, public and scientific news. Projects correspondents (ESA Staff) are assigned to stimulate one-on-one dialogue with all PIs. Intense scientific promotion efforts: provision of open-code software toolboxes, http://eopi.esa.int Scientific Data Exploitation CZ RA WS- Pisa- 26 June, 2007

  10. Organisation of many scientific events: ENVISAT/ERS Symposium in Salzburg, 09/2004. CRYOSAT WS March 2005 FRINGE 2005 WS, MERIS 2005 WS, 15 Years of Progress in RA, Venice March ‘06 Uniting OSTST, DORIS WS, ARGO SMOS WS May 2006 GOCE WS Sep 2006 ENVISAT SYMPOSIUM (CH) 23-27/04/07 Advanced training and summer schools (e.g. OCEAN2006, Hamburg - D. Stammer) SMOS cal/val WS Oct ‘07 Hydrology From Space II, Nov ‘07 Scientific Events CZ RA WS- Pisa- 26 June, 2007
