"30 Years of progress in radar altimetry" symposium starts today @ESA CNES CPOM's Malcolm McMillan presented Keynote: Altimetry for Cryosphere: A 30-year Radar Altimetry Record of Ice Sheet Elevation and Mass Change. For the full schedule visit altimetry2024.org

European Polar Science Week 2024 starts tomorrow with EUScience&Innovation🇪🇺 and European Space Agency hosting a week of #polarscience research, discussions and networking. To find out more about the full programme and to watch the event opening visit their website: polar-science-week.eu

🆕 Preprint feat. CryoSat data 🛰️ "CMIP6 models overestimate sea ice melt, growth & conduction relative to ice mass balance buoy estimates" 🗞️ Met Office Science Met Office HadOBS 👉gmd.copernicus.org/preprints/gmd-…

‼️ CryoSat users ‼️ Due to an orbit control manoeuvre, CryoSat science data will be unavailable today from 12:41:50 to 14:35:35 UTC Exact times will be confirmed shortly afterwards and published on the Data Unavailabilities page ESA Earth Online 👉earth.esa.int/eogateway/miss…

Looking forward to greeting our new coastal water monitoring buddy up with us in orbit! 🚀

They must be pleased about the Cryo2ice symposium soon to arrive in Reykjavik! 🇮🇸🌋😊

Alice from the fabulous Telespazio UK CryoSat team is presenting her important work on CryoSat data quality today! Go say hi if you're at the Radar Altimetry Symposium 👋🛰️📊 And complete the survey if you're a CryoSat data user, it'd be very helpful!

CPOM's Rosemary Willatt (UCL) this morning presenting 'Polarimetric Radar Altimetry over the Cryosphere: Surface-Based Data and Future Possibilities' at 30 Years of progress in radar altimetry symposium organised by @ESA & CNES Image credit: Steve Baker MSSL UCL

📊 Exciting data news! 📊 The CryoTEMPO Polar Ocean Baseline C version 2 has now been generated and uploaded to the CryoSat science server. More info👉earth.esa.int/eogateway/news…

😍 And featuring CryoSat 😍

Arctic sea ice extent for August 2024 averaged 5.21 million square kilometers (2.01 million square miles), the 4th lowest in the 46-year passive microwave satellite record. Learn more in our latest Sea Ice Today analysis: nsidc.org/sea-ice-today/…

Livia Jakob and Prof. Noel Gourmelen are speaking and chairing at polar-science-week.eu this week!

"Using Multi-mission Satellite Altimetry to Monitor Subglacial Hydrological Activities in the Totten Basin, East Antarctica" 🛰️ CryoSat, ICESat, ICESat-2 and Sentinel-3 combine to establish a 20-year time series of surface ice sheet elevation changes 👉ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.js…

A novel way to study ice from space ❄️ Researchers fed Copernicus EU #Sentinel3 data into Vision Transformers, a type of neural network that splits an input image - in this case, the optical images from the Sentinel-3 datasets - into a sequence of patches, serialises each one
