SAMOSA (SAR Altimetry MOde Studies
and Applications)
SAMOSA is an ESA-funded project to study oceanographic
applications of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mode (or Delay Doppler
mode) altimetry. The Cryosat-2 mission will operate a SAR mode
Altimeter, primarily designed to make measurements over the earths
polar regions. However, the SAR mode altimeter offers many potential
improvements over conventional altimetry for measurements over the
oceans, and SAMOSA is working to quantify these. There is also work on
the applications over coastal zones and inland waters.
Project team
The SAMOSA team is led by SatOC, and includes the
National Oceanography Centre Southampton (UK), STARLAB (Spain), De
Montfort University (UK), and the Danish National Space Centre
(Denmark). We are also very fortunate to be receiving expert guidance
from Dr Keith Raney of Johns Hopkins University (USA).
