SPACE OCEANOGRAPHY

From satellite data to oceanographic expertise
 

Ocean-observing satellites are entering a new operational era and naturally occupy an important place in programs designed to manage and predict ocean and climate change.

Radar altimetry is a leading-edge technology used in space oceanography that is now finding a growing number of scientific and commercial applications.

CLS has been playing a leading part in developing this technology for over 10 years and is now gearing itself up for the missions of the third millennium.
