CP4O Meetings

In this section we provide information about  CP4O project meetings.

CP4O Final Review : ESRIN, Frascati.  30 June -2 July 2014

The CP4O Final  Review took place on 30 June 2014 to 2 July 2014.

At this meeting  CP4O partners presented the results from the development, validation and independent assessment of products derived from Cryosat-2 Data.

These products included

  • SAR and RDSAR products for the Open Ocean
  • SAR  and SARin products in the Coastal Ocean
  • SAR poducts for the Polar Ocean
  • Improved and Regional Geophysical Corrections for use with CryoSat-2 Data

The presentations given can be accessed through links below.

CP4O Mid Term Review and SAR Altimetry Expert Group  Meeting : NOC Southampton - 25-27 June 2013

The CP4O Mid Term Review took place on 25-26 June 2013.

Experts were invited to review key material and provide advice and recommendations on how to take this work forward. The Expert Panel were asked to review the deliverables from WP2000 "Preliminary Analysis of the State of the Art", and early results from WP4000 "Product Development and Validation". Links to the  documents to be reviewed are provided below, together with Guidance Notes for the Expert Panel

The SAR Altimetry Expert Group Meeting on 26-27 June was arranged in coordination with the CP4O project, with the following objectives:

  • Review the state of knowledge about SAR altimetry over the ocean and coastal regions in preparation for the Sentinel-3 and Jason-CS missions.
  • Identify open issues for SAR altimetry and their possible impact on the ability of Sentinel-3 and Jason-CS to deliver their mission objectives, in particular regarding the Jason-CS primary mission requirement to ensure continuity of high-precision sea level trend monitoring.

 The agenda and presentations are provided in through links in the table below. A State of the Art Review commissioned by EUMETSAT to provide recommendations for the  JASON-CS mission is available here.
