| Zusammenfassung |
| The overall objective of all CryoSat validation activities is to assess and quantify uncertainty in the CryoSat measurements of sea ice thickness and land ice thickness change. The principal means for carrying out this program has been through dedicated, independent, ground-based and airborne campaigns along with detailed investigations of retrieval methods applied to the satellite measurements.
The Calibration, Validation and Retrieval Team (CVRT) composed of members selected through two ESA Cryosat cal./val. Announcements of Opportunity plays an important role in the mission validation. The CVRT has helped ESA elaborate details of coordinated Cal/Val strategy and contributes through experiments and data analysis to Cal/Val efforts, providing feedback to ESA on the results.
The presention will cover the scope of the Cryosat validation experiments and an overview of the planning and expected feedback from post-launch validation work. Syngergies with parallel NASA activities and ESA/NASA collaboration will be highlighted. |
