Project Objectives
The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich and Jason-3 Tandem Flight Exploitation (S6-JTEX) is an ESA project aiming at providing an exhaustive analysis of the Sentinel-6MF (S6-MF) measurements during the tandem flight opportunity with Jason-3 to demonstrate the high benefit of this new altimeter reference mission to extend the legacy of its predecessors.
A further objective is the study of innovative processing algorithms to enhance the exploitation of the capabilities of the mission and allow the development of new products and applications. All processed data will be shared with the science community, and the findings of these studies reported in scientific research papers, and communicated through meetings (S6VT, OSTST, ..) .
