At EGU 2009, we will have a special focus on the recently launched JASON-2 altimetry mission. Papers on all aspects of this mission including cal/val and other early results are particularly welcome. Beyond JASON-2, topics for this session include but are not limited to (1) physical oceanographic variability and interactions with the atmosphere (2) biological variability and the carbon cycle, (3) marine gravity and space geodesy missions, and (4) development of new techniques in ocean remote sensing. Papers on emerging technologies and new sensors including those deployed on aircraft and on operational applications are also encouraged. |
