Ocean and Sea Ice Remote Sensing
Group Leader:
Antonio Bonaduce General
About us
Advancing research and monitoring of upper ocean processes and dynamics by synergetic use of satellite and in situ data.
Research Objectives
- Strengthen the use of available satellite and in situ ocean observations for ocean monitoring, model validation, data assimilation, and prediction.
- Support the development of future observing platforms by advancing the interpretation of satellite data in terms of geophysical quantities (like wind, wave, and current).
- Exploit synergetic (complementary and overlapping) observational coverage to understand upper ocean processes and dynamics across all available time and space scales.
Targets and Priorities
- Advance the understanding of sea level variability: combined use of altimetry, gravimetry, in-situ data and modelling
- Develop innovative radial surface currents estimation based on Doppler shift measurements from Sentinel-1
- Advance the understanding of the mesoscale upper ocean dynamics based on satellite sensor synergy
- Improve the sea ice classification
- Develop techniques for thermal noise removal in SAR images
- Improve data handling, visualization and analyses tools (include AI & ML)
