Voyage - Doppler
During the 6-week sail voyage from Tromsø via Reykjavik to Nice in April to June 2025, in-situ ocean data will be collected in the Norwegian Sea, the North Atlantic, and the Mediterranean Sea. This is part of the second One Ocean Expedition. The "Voyage - Doppler" project aims to compare these data with ocean surface current radial velocities derived from Sentinel-1 SAR Doppler shift signals obtained during the same period, to validate these satellite-based data. During the sail voyage, the project will also contribute to the Advanced Ocean Training Course 2024-2025 for around 50 students in collaboration with ESA and NASA.
