A wind speed product has been developed in the framework of a joint collaboration between the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche (France) and ICARE. This new product is derived from POLDER/PARASOL polarimetric and multidirectional observations over the oceans using an algorithm named POLAC (POLarized Atmospheric Correction) and a method based on the dependence of the Sun […]
Ten years ago to the day, on 28 April 2006, the French-U.S. CALIPSO satellite was sent aloft from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, atop a Delta II launcher to take up its place in the A-Train constellation. With CALIPSO celebrating 10 years of science measurements in June 2016, it is time to reflect on a […]
