ESA Scout HydroGNSS Online Workshop

This workshop will introduce the HydroGNSS mission, the science behind the retrievals, the products anticipated at Data Levels 1 and 2, their relationship to Essential Climate Variables (ECVs), and the plans for calibration and validation of the results. The workshop will discuss lessons learned from previous reflectometry missions, and how future HydroGNSS products could be accommodated alongside other data into climate and meteorological models to improve hydrological and climate knowledge.
