DMSP : SSMI data from US Air force DMSP (US Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) satellites are used in OSI SAF Sea Ice processing.
ESA : The European Space Agency is responsible for several satellites of interest, in particular ENVISAT satellite, from which is derived the AATSR SST, key reference for the OSI SAF, and for the future, SENTINEL-3 satellite.
GCOS : Global Climate Observing System, is a source of requirement for the OSI SAF.
GEOSS : Global Earth Observation System of Systems. The GEOSS project will help all nations involved produce and manage their information in a way that benefits the environment as well as humanity by taking a pulse of the planet …
GHRSST-PP : GODAE High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Pilot Project. OSI SAF SST and Sea Ice are used as input data for the GHRSST, which is in consequence an important source of requirement for OSI SAF SST.
GMES : GMES is the European participation in the worldwide monitoring and management of our planet Earth and the European contribution to GEO. The OSI SAF SST, Sea Ice and Wind products will be used as input for the Marine Core Service (MCS) Thematic Assembly Centers (TAC) .
GODAE : Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment. The aim of GODAE is to make ocean monitoring and prediction a routine activity similar to weather forecasting. It is an Important source of requirement for Operational Space Oceanography.
GOOS : Global Ocean Observing System, Oceanographic component of the GEOSS
IOMASA : Integrated Observation and Modeling of Arctic Sea ice and Atmosphere
MERCATOR-OCEAN : The Public Interest Group (GIP) Mercator Ocean was founded in April 2002 to set up an operational system for describing the state of the ocean, an integral part of our environment, at any given time and at any place on our blue planet. The OSI SAF SST is an input data for MERCATOR.
MERSEA : Marine Environment and Security for the European Area, aims at Developing in the framework of GMES a European system for operational monitoring and forecasting of the ocean physics, biogeochemistry, and ecosystems, on global and regional scales. The OSI SAF SST is used as input for MERSEA.
MyOcean : MyOcean is the implementation project of the GMES Marine Core Service, aiming at deploying the first concerted and integrated pan-European capacity for Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting. The OSI SAF provides MyOcean with SST, sea ice and wind global products ...
NASA : NASA is responsible for satellite programs such as AQUA, TERRA, involved in JASON, and in the future NPP/NPOESS.
NOAA : NOAA satellites are currently used in SST and Radiative Fluxes processing, and will be used from 2009 onwards for the Sea Ice.
NPP : NPOESS Preparatory Project. NPP is planned to be launched in 2009, and will be primarily used for the OSI SAF SST
NPOESS : NPOESS is a tri-agency US Air Force – NOAA – NASA Satellite program. It Will follow POES and DMSP constellations.
Polar View : Polar View offers integrated monitoring and forecasting services in the Polar Regions using satellite earth observation data, in particular the OSI SAF Sea Ice.
QuikSCAT : NASA satellite with Seawinds scatterometer onboard. Used for deriving the SeaWinds 100km and 25km OSI SAF winds.
SENTINEL-3 : This mission, baselined within GMES, is devoted to provision of operational oceanographic services. The satellite will benefit from high inclination altimeter and visible-infrared element for ocean colour and sea-surface temperature based products.
University of Edinburgh : the OSI SAF benefits from the expertise of the University of Edinburgh in satellite-derived SST processing/algorithm through Visiting Scientist activities.
WMO : World Meteorological Organization, Important source of requirement for Operational Space Meteorology.
