This animation shows the simulated CIMR sea ice concentration field, using a typical algorithm combining 18.7 and 36.5 GHz frequency channels, and compared to the resolution of SMMR, SSM/I, and AMSR2.
One post, two flight legs! The CIMRex campaign sucessfully arrived in Svalbard, via Greenland. Juha Lemmetyinen (FMI) and Sampo Salo (Harp Technologies Ltd) report.
CIMR's orbit configuration and >1900km swath width will offer un-precedented global coverage, and sub-daily revisit in the polar regions (including "no hole at the pole"). Read for more info and plots.
To support the CIMR mission, ESA flies the CIMRex airborne campaign, from 2nd March 2019 in Iceland, to 9th March 2019 in Svalbard. Tânia Casal (ESA Scientific Campaign Coordinator) introduces the campaign (read more!).
The CIMR Mission Advisory Group will gather at ESA ESTEC for the 5th time.
The results from the Preliminary Requirement Reviews (PRRs) from the two industry consortiums will be in focus, as well as further preparation of the CIMR mission and its algorithms.
New figures and plots illustrating the CIMR mission are available from the "Resources / Figures" menu. The list will be populated on irregular basis, check it out from time to time..

Sunday 3rd March we tested the instruments in flight. The actual science measurements of CIMRex start tomorrow! See "Read more" for extra pics.
