The Fine Resolution Explorer for Salinity, Carbon and Hydrology (FRESCH) : A Satellite Mission to Study Ocean-Land-Ice Interfaces

Summary, in English

The Fine Resolution Explorer for Salinity, Carbon and Hydrology (FRESCH) is presented. The science case and the mission objectives are discussed before presenting the mission concept. FRESCH is an L-band antenna array operated in beamforming mode providing data at a spatial resolution of 10-15 km to study the biogeochemical and physical phenomena taking place at the interfaces of ocean, land and ice. FRESCH has been submitted to the European Space Agency Earth Explorer 12 program.
