CLIMATE APPLICATIONS: - Cryospheric applications involving the monitoring of snow and sea ice albedo (e.g. validation of snow/ice albedo parameterizations in climate models). - Global and regional climate change studies. - Monitoring and analysis of the earths radiation budget. - Validation of regional and global climate models (e.g. ECHAM5).
