Project Description


The GlobIce Project is a part of ESA's Data User Element (DUE) of the Earth Observation Envelope Programme. The main purpose of GlobIce is to define, implement and validate a sea ice information system to support the World Climate Research Programme project CliC with validated sea ice motion, deformation and flux products derived from SAR data in the ESA archive.  We lead a consortium of 8 partners on this 3-year project.

These data products are the primary outputs of the GlobIce system.
