Section outline

  • The main objectives of SALGEE are:

    1. To support LSA SAF activities in user services and training to take full advantage of remotely sensed data (MSG and EPS) on: 

    • Land 
    • Land-atmosphere interactions and 
    • Biosphere applications.

    2. To foster an integrated approach for research and operational activities in meteorology and climatology in support to the:

    • Quantification of biogeophysical cycle
    • Biochemical cycle and
    • other related land surface processes in combination with information from in situ data, model outputs and satellite observations (accounting for the active role of vegetation).
