CERSAT

Missions

CERSAT uses and processes the observations from multiple spaceborne instruments to retrieve and measure geophysical properties of the ocean surface, or for science applications. Ifremer is also deeply involved in some satellite missions as an expert laboratory, a contributor to their data quality assessment and validation, or the development and dissemination of advanced products by CERSAT. This section provides an overview of the missions we are supporting or which are relevant to our activities.
