    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

    #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!

    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 !
