The CLEV2ER: Sea Ice and Iceberg project is intended to support the design, development, implementation, and evolution of the CRISTAL Level-2 product format and Ground Processor Prototype (GPP) algorithms, focussing on the thematic areas of Sea Ice and Icebergs. The evolution of the algorithms will support the increasing scientific readiness of CRISTAL through phase C/D/E1 of the mission
The overall aims of the project are therefore:
- To design, build, test, and validate the Level-2 GPPs for the sea ice and iceberg domains
- To define the content, structure, and format of the Level-2 products needed for these domains
- To conduct research and development activities to address the scientific and technical questions related to best exploiting the data gathered by the IRIS instrument over these domains
