Description
Summary:Knowledge of bathymetry and ocean tides plays a pivotal role at the crossroads of various scientific fields, especially in the Polar regions. Its significance extends to ocean circulation modelling and the understanding of the coupled dynamical response of the ocean, sea ice and ice-shelf systems. Moreover, it deeply influences the quality and accuracy of sea surface height and sea ice parameter estimates from satellite altimetry, as well as the comprehension of ice-shelf dynamics. In isolated regions like the Southern Ocean, satellite observations bring invaluable information with the measured physical parameters or by considering the strong links between parameters’ characteristics and the ocean processes. The ALBATROSS project (ALtimetry for BAthymetry and Tide Retrievals for the Southern Ocean, Sea ice and ice Shelves), led by NOVELTIS in collaboration with DTU Space, NPI and UCL, is funded by ESA in the frame of the Polar Science Cluster in the EO4Society Programme, which fosters collaborative research ...
