    This week we are in Copenhagen to discuss the implementation of level 2 algorithms for the upcoming #CIMR – Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer #satellite. Thank you to #DMI for hosting us and #EU and #ESA for developing #CIMR #CIMRL2PAD

    I read through your #Python packaging tutorial, @pyOpenSci. I think it can be a great resource for me and the #CIMRL2PAD project team as we develop our satellite processing modules.

    Do you have a git(hub/lab) template repo implementing this packaging approach?

    #ESA, the European #Space Agency, made a cool video about the #CIMR satellite.

    #CIMR is the #Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer. It will fly as one of the future @CopernicusEU #Sentinels from early 2029. It will be a game-changer for observing #SeaIce and the #polar oceans.

    I have been heavily involved in the preparations for this satellite. I'll be happy to answer questions you might have about the video. Just ask them below 👇. #CIMRL2PAD

    Status update, #NASATOPS #OpenScience 101:

    ✅ The ethos of Open Science
    ✅ Open Tools & Resources
    ✅ Open Data
    ✅ Open Code
    🔲 Open Results

    This 4th module was about Open Code.

    Again, the importance of a Software Management Plan (SMP) for larger projects (like #CIMRL2PAD is).

    And (software) licenses, licenses, licenses!

    Can I safely use an LGPL library in my "permissive" software? I need to find out.

    Ha! And the module made me discover @pyOpenSci, so that's something!

    Exciting update in Earth Observation! 🛰️ The European Space Agency launches the #CIMRL2PAD project, a 4-year initiative to advance #EO technology.
    We will contribute to this international project led by MET Norway, with new algorithms for thin sea ice thickness, ice type and snow on sea ice for the upcoming CIMR satellite.

    2️⃣ things I am particularly looking forward to:

    1) The satellite is not flying yet. It is being built. This means we have to use simulated data to prepare our algorithms. That's a first for several of us.

    2) We want to be as open as possible, and aim at open-source software and algorithm. Give us some time to make this happen (learning by doing). #opendata #openscience #opensource

    📢 We have a new project 🥳 !

    Our bid was selected: we now have 4 years (2023-2027) to prepare algorithms and build a Ground Processor Prototype (GPP) for the #Copernicus / #ESA #CIMR satellite 🛰️ .

    Of course there is a lot to do: we have 20+ variables to cover and all must be in place before the satellite launch in 2028/29.

    Anyway, I'm honoured and thrilled to lead this team of 12 partners.

    Let's go #CIMRL2PAD !
