2014 SARAL/Altika Complete Program

2014 SARAL/AltiKa workshop
Steigenberger Inselhotel, Lake Constance, Germany

The objective of this workshop is to make a progress status, more than 18 months after the SARAL/AltiKa launch, on the different CAL/VAL studies that have been undertaken with the first data and to discuss the results of the first scientific investigations using the SARAL/AltiKa data. In particular our interest will be to highlight advances in the “New frontiers of altimetry”: e.g. the new altimetric capabilities that the Ka-band has enabled, in the field of oceanography (improved resolution in the open ocean, coastal altimetry) and also in the areas of hydrology and the cryosphere. The workshop will be organised around oral presentations and posters.
