| Zusammenfassung |
| Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) is designed to provide European
policy makers and public authorities with accurate and timely information to better manage
the environment, understand and mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure civil
security. Sentinel-3 is an Earth observation satellite mission designed for GMES to ensure the
long-term collection and operational delivery of high-quality measurements to GMES
ocean, land, atmospheric, emergency and security services in continuation of ESA
satellite missions like ERS and Envisat. The Sentinel-3 is currently designed with
measurement requirements, corresponding to identified user needs from the GMES
programme:
Sea surface topography, significant wave height and surface wind speed derived
over the global ocean to an equivalent accuracy and precision as that presently
achieved by Envisat Radar Altimeter-2 (RA-2) but with enhanced surface
topography measurements in the coastal zone, sea ice regions and over inland
rivers, their tributaries and lakes.
Sea surface temperature determined for oceanic and coastal waters globally to
an equivalent accuracy and precision as that presently achieved by the Envisat
Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) over the ocean (i.e. |
