Multidisciplinary research activities based on knowledge and expertise in satellite remote sensing, ocean acoustics, signal processing, electromagnetic radiation physics, sea ice physics, oceanography, boundary layer meteorology, air-sea-ice interaction and information technology for management and dissemination of satellite based information.

Develop and validate retrieval algorithms for ocean and sea ice parameters from various satellite Earth observation data, which in are used in studies of upper layer mesoscale ocean processes, air-sea-ice interaction, climate change studies and in operational oceanography.
