Goal of the project:
The project allows oceanography experts to discover the existence and then to handle jointly, in a convenient, flexible and intuitive way, the various co-located Earth Observed (EO)
datasets and related model/in-situ datasets over dedicated regions of interest with a different multi facet point of view.
The developed tools shall foster the emergence and prototype of new methods and products making use of the complementarity between sensors to study ocean related processes.

Short description of the project:
The project aims to implement new software putting together two types of tools: a mathematical programming environment and a geographical programming environment.
The principal tasks are the following.
- Implementation the SY-4Sci OVL novel synergy algorithms and the OVL platform, perform validation of new synergy products and access Sentinel1 and Sentinel3 products suitability for synergy studies.
- Write recommendation for further scientific research exploiting the synergy between ocean satellite sensors with a special focus on Sentinel1 and Sentinel3.
2nd ESA Training Course on Ocean Multi-Sensor Synergy, 25-26 October 2016, at the Politehnica University of Timisoara, Romania. October 2016, Timisoara
