JPL PO.DAAC (Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center)

The JPL PO.DAAC (Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center) , located in Pasadena (California, USA) archives and distributes oceanographic data collected by satellite sensors. Many products (sea-ice maps, mean wind fields, colocated products,...) are generated at CERSAT using the data provided by JPL/PO.DAAC. As a partner, the JPL/PO.DAAC also hosts a mirror site of the CERSAT. The CERSAT distributes on-line some JPL products, as a mirror site for the European scientific community.

The European Spatial Agency

The European Spatial Agency (ESA) is the main promoter of the ERS program. As a ground segment element for the ERS program, CERSAT is a subcontractor of ESA. On one hand, the ESA official web site provides information about the agency. On the other hand, a gateway provides online access to the ESA earth observation programs (Earthnet Online).
