SAR radial currents
Overview of the Loop current in the Gulf of
Mexico and its Gulf Stream extension on
the US East coast.
Radial current velocities (east-west
component of velocity only) are estimated
from the ENVISAT Advanced Synthetic
aperture Radar (ASAR) in this one-year
composite image.
The main path and trajectory of the Loop
current and Gulf Stream is highlighted by

GlobCurrent project
– A new ESA Data User Element project for 2013
– €1.5 Million earmarked for a 3 year project
Aim:
– Develop and demonstrate R&D activities for EO
derived ocean surface currents…
– over a 3 year period…
– based on the innovative use of satellite and in situ
data…
– linked to external user applications that will
demonstrate their utility.
– Increase the use of ESA and ESA Third Party
Mission EO data.
Potential GlobCurrent scope
– Data: Integration, harmonisation and cataloguing of existing (satellite and in-situ)
data streams,
– Products: processing and delivery of new types of products, based on existing
research,
– R&D: Development and testing of new retrieval techniques for ocean surface
currents from EO data including the use of complementary EO data in synergy,
– R&D: development of uncertainty estimates for EO ocean surface current
estimates,
– R&D: activities supporting data inter-comparisons and validation,
– Demonstration: Products and activities supporting the needs of surface drift
applications, ocean modelling teams, data assimilation schemes, model
validation, scientific research or commercial exploitation.
– Communication: Development of a web portal, a data archive, or software tools
to assist the user community in the discovery and application of EO derived
surface ocean current data,
User Commitments
The User Consultation Meeting
– The purpose of the GlobCurrent User Consultation Meeting, is to bring
users and experts together to
– Define user requirements for the project, identify the
priority Earth Observation information, innovative EO
products, R&D activities and priority regions of interest.
– A set of templates are available for you to use to feedback what you need
– We also need a number of Champion Users that will use the outputs of the
project, help to guide the project, to review the project outcomes and to
provide ESA with advice during the project.
– Dealine: 15th November 2012: Contact
[email protected] for a template
– What does your user application want? – Products, data delivery, timeliness, tools, documentation,
access, product uncertainties?
– What can be done? – Develop/Implement/Transfer R&D activities/products to
consolidated, systematic, robust demonstration activities with user engagement.
– What are the project boundaries? Location, duration, reprocessing, interfaces, access, data amount…
