| Zusammenfassung |
| Since the launch of ERS-1 in 1991 and ERS-2 in 1995, carrying a
C-band Scatterometer, a data set of more than thirteen years of
backscattered signal from the Earth surface is available for exploitation.
With its global coverage, day or night and all-weather operation, ERS
Scatterometer data offer unique opportunity for long-term studies and
research. To fulfill the needs of the scientific community, the European
Space Agency (ESA) has developed the project: Advanced Scatterometer
Processing System (ASPS). Main scope of the project is to provide with
state-of-the-art algorithm, high quality and homogenous Scatterometer
measurements (sigma nought) of the Earth surface and high quality wind field
over the Oceans by re-processing the entire ERS mission. Additional scope is
to provide on experimental basis scientific products in high resolution
tailored for the emerging Scatterometer application on Ice and Land. The
ASPS project is now in a pre-operational phase and the scope of the paper is
to give to the scientific community an overview of the ASPS data and show
the assimilation of the data into the ECMWF weather analysis system. ASPS
data hopefully will help the scientific community to better understand and
monitor the Earth's climate changes and to protect our environment. |
