Monitoring algae in the Carribean

As sargassum decomposes on beaches, it releases disagreeable odours. Removal is time-consuming and expensive as mats can be several meters thick. Tourists are bothered by sargassum, and incoming rafts smother sea grasses and coral reefs, while fishermen struggle to get their boats in the water. Rafts also have an impact on baby and nesting fish and turtle populations.

 Evaluation of Future Atmospheric Mission Concepts to Monitor Precipitation

The Raincast project is a multi-platform and multi-sensor study to address the requirement from the research and operational communities for global precipitation measurements. Raincast aims at identifying and consolidating the science requirements for a satellite mission that could complement the existing space-based precipitation observing system and that could optimally liaise with efforts currently made by other agencies in this area (especially by NASA andJAXA).
