OSTST meeting, Wiesbaden, Germany: June 22 – June 26 2026
The 2026 OSTST meeting took place in Wiesbaden, Germany, from 22 to 26 June 2026.
The yearly Ocean Surface Topography Science Team meeting includes plenary sessions, the splinter working sessions, and poster sessions.
Once again in 2026, satellite altimetry experts from around the world gathered to discuss the performance of current satellite altimetry constellations as well as the use and information-sharing about all present, past, and future altimeter missions.
The meeting covered the main applications of satellite altimetry related to open oceans, coastal areas, polar regions, cryosphere, and inland waters.
In addition, since the successful launch of the Copernicus Sentinel-6B satellite in November 2025, this OSTST meeting will place a strong focus on the commissioning status and activities of this mission with a dedicated Sentinel-6 Validation Team meeting, where teams will report on the findings from the satellite’s commissioning. And once again, this OSTST edition will be combined with a meeting of the International DORIS Service.
