Research projects

SCIRoCCo

The Scatterometer Instrument Competence Centre's (SCIRoCCo) objective is to become a reference center for the international meteorological agencies, meteorological operations centers, and the research and educational community worldwide for the exploitation of the ERS Scatterometer mission data set and of the present and future C-band scatterometer missions data sets. RMA's tasks are to carry out research and development activities in the area of C-band scatterometer inter and cross sensors calibration, processing algorithms for the computation of the radar backscattering, data validation and data quality control, education and outreach.

TOSCA

The scope of this procurement of the ESA is to guarantee the maintenance and the evolution of the Scatterometer data processor prototype and the Scatterometer calibration tool (TOSCA). More notably it involves a study of the cross-calibration of the scatterometer on-board ERS-2 with the scatterometer on-board METOP.
