Technological Projects

SMOS

Zenithal Blue technologies is coordinating the operational activities for the development of new processing algorithms for ESA’s Earth Observation satellite SMOS. As well as providing expertise support in the calibration of the instrument.

CRYORAD

Zenithal Blue technologies is supporting the development phase of ESA’s new Earth Explorer 12 candidate satellite mission CryoRad.

Radio Frequency Interference

RFI localisation

Zenithal Blue technologies has developed an accurate RFI geolocation algorithm that has allowed ESA to switch off several hundred RFI sources in the protected portion of the L-band

RFI simulator

Zenithal Blue technologies has developed a Radio Frequency Interference simulator for assessing the RFI mitigation capabilities of ESA’s future remote sensing satellites

RFI detection

Zenithal Blue technologies has developed RFIScan, the state-of-the-art in RFI detection for Earth Observation satellites. RFIScan improves RFI detection by combining several detection methods, and the use of internal and external information.

Earth System Projects

ARCTIC-FLOW – www.arctic-flow.eu

The ESA-funded ARCTIC-FLOW project will produce a 16-year satellite dataset (2011–2026) on freshwater and density fluxes to study Arctic ocean dynamics and climate interactions. The dataset will support the Polar Science Cluster in advancing Arctic climate research.

CCI Interfacing – COMET

The ESA COMET project will enhance global climate modeling by integrating new Earth Observations datasets from the ESA CCI portfolio into the C-GLORS climate model, with support of Machine Learning techniques. The project will contribute towards the CMIP7 exercise and IPPC assessments.

CCI ECV Ocean Surface Heat Flux

The ESA CCI Ocean Surface Heat Flux (OSHF) project addresses observational gaps in the GCOS ECV OSHF variable with the help of Earth Observation. This approach improves resolution, reduces uncertainties, and open opportunities for improving our knowledge of the Earth System and the interface bewteen ocean and atmosphere.
