Abstract:
The Earth Observation EU funded Copernicus mission Sentinel program has driven the development of new space borne sensors, a new ground segment and improvement to the data processing chains. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the acquisition of high quality sea surface temperature data. In order to unsure data quality, the Copernicus funded TRUSTED project initiated by EUMETSAT, aims to deploy an independent fiducial reference network of over 100 Data Buoy Cooperation Panel (DBCP) compliant Surface drifters. This development has implied the metrological characterization of the High Resolution SST (HRSST) sensor of the buoys and the insuring of the metrological traceability to the SI (International System of Unit) of their measurements.
