European Subpolar Ocean Project phase 2 under MAST-III

ESOP-2 is an EEC project under the MAST III programme, contract MAS3-CT95-0015

Overall project description

The goal of ESOP-2 is to understand the thermohaline circulation in the Greenland Sea, its sensitivity, and impact on global ocean circulation, building on a unique combination of novel experimental techniques, modelling and experience gained under ESOP-1

Role and contribution of DTU (DCRS)

The Danish Center for Remote Sensing contributes with large scale ice mapping in the Greenland Sea based on passive microwave information, and with detailed studies of the ice formation and decay in the Odden area based on Active and Passive microwave observations.
