2018 OSTST Complete Program

2018 Ocean Surface Topography Science Team Meeting
The annual meeting of the Ocean Surface Topography Science Team (OSTST), will be held in the second part of the "25 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry" Symposium and will address specific issues on the TOPEX/Poseidon-Jason series of missions, including algorithm and model improvement, Cal/Val activities, merging with other altimetric satellites (CryoSat-2, SARAL/AltiKa, HY-2, Sentinel-3), and preparation for the Sentinel-6/Jason-CS and SWOT missions.
Because of the obvious relationship with the Symposium, it is proposed that the purely science presentations of the OSTST PIs and Co-Is be given in the Symposium. This will leave more time during OSTST for specific splinters, technical presentations, including a poster session.
Thursday, September 27 2018 - Friday, September 28 2018
