Since more than 2 weeks the RV Polarstern #SWOS expedition is now conducting research in the western Weddell Sea. The days are starting to get shorter while we are measuring L-band microwave brightness temperatures of sea ice to improve our satellite retrievals for the upcoming EU/ESA #CIMR mission.

The CIMR L2PAD Workshop - Sentinel Success Stories - Sentinel Online

Our colleagues Roberto Fernández Moran, Moritz Link, Andrés Terrer, and Maria Piles recently joined the ESA CIMR L2PAD workshop to refine the algorithms behind the Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer.

2 weeks ago, our colleague Marcus gave an overview of the CIMR L2 Snow depth retrieval implemented within the L2PAD project on the @esa.int #CIMR Expert User Group workshop in Barcelona. Now we're addressing the valuable comments and feedback. Another month till the detailed design review, let's go!

#ESA and #CIMR #L2PAD team met at ICM-CSIC, Barcelona, to discuss Level-2 algorithms for the Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer mission
Launching in 2029, CIMR will deliver hi-res data on polar sea ice, oceans and land

I will not be at #LPS25, Europe's largest 🛰️ Earth Observation conference, in Vienna this week.

But many of my good friends and colleagues will, including those from @osi_saf , #CCI (Climate Change Initiative), and #CIMR (the future satellite in my profile banner). Catch many of them at the […]

Well it turns out we have 3 open positions that I should tell you about:
- #Assimilation of #GNSS-R to improve the land surface (in the same team as me)
- Assimilation of #CIMR in the coupled system looking at the ocean (we've already started preparing for the sea ice part; on the #ESA #DANTEX […]

This week we are in Copenhagen to discuss the implementation of level 2 algorithms for the upcoming #CIMR – Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer #satellite. Thank you to #DMI for hosting us and #EU and @esa.int for developing #CIMR. #CIMRL2PAD

The Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer #CIMR is a wonderful new satellite mission for the #EU Copernicus program developed by the European Space Agency #ESA to monitor the #Arctic and #ocean. The mesh reflector is 8m in diameter rotating at 7.8 rpm and uses 900 km of gold coated wire!
