Antarctica InSync Cross-Cutting Theme Earth Observation. Unleashing the potential of Earth Observation to improve monitoring and understanding of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean [White Paper]

Advances in satellite Earth Observation (EO) have enabled comprehensive and continuous monitoring, and characterisation, of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. EO data products provide essential information to tackle the scientific priorities of Antarctica InSync, including crucial spatial and temporal context for in-situ campaigns and modelling. The wealth of EO data products enables scientific research priorities to be addressed, such as understanding impacts of climate change and variability across ice sheets, ice shelves, sea ice, ocean, atmosphere and ecosystems, investigating trends, extremes and feedbacks.
