ARCOD is the acronym for the data rescue project Archive of Ocean Data, former Arctic Ocean Sediment Data. The projects aim is to make data evailable in electronic, machine-readable form which are available in Russian archives and literature. The project is carried out since 2003 by Dr. Evgeny Gurvich.

This Amphipoda dataset contains three parts: 1. Distribution records collected from literature; 2. Distribution records of specimens collected by the BioICE project (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic waters 1992-2004); 3. Distribution records of specimens collected by the IceAGE project (Icelandic marine animals: Genetics and Ecology, since 2011). The IceAGE data are outcome of two Amphipoda identification workshops held in Wilhelmshaven, Germany (2016) and Spala, Polen (2017).

Launched in June 2008, Jason-2, also referred to as the Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM), was the follow-on mission from Jason-1 and Posiedon/TOPEX. In this mission, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) worked collaboratively with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) to extend the existing time series of ocean surface topography measurements. Jason-2 successfully obtained a continuous record of observations in line with previous missions which included measurements of time-averaged ocean circulation, global sea-level change and improved open ocean tide models, until it was decommissioned in October 2019.

SARAL (Satellite with ARgos and ALtiKa) is an altimetric minisatellite operated by ISRO and CNES. Launched in 2013, data gathered by SARAL has applications in oceanography and atmospheric studies.

Sea surface salinity observations contribute to monitoring the global water cycle (evaporation, precipitation and glacier and river runoff). On large scales, surface salinity can be used to infer long-term changes of the global hydrological cycle. Surface salinity, together with surface temperature, is indicative of the surface expression of ocean frontal features and eddies.

Jason-1 (Joint Altimetry Satellite Oceanography Network) Mission. Jason is the name of a joint CNES/NASA oceanography mission series with the objective to monitor global ocean circulation, discover the tie between the oceans and atmosphere, improve global climate predictions, and to monitor events such as El Nino conditions and ocean eddies. The oceanography mission series is considered a cornerstone of GCOS (Global Ocean Observing System), a concept advocated by WMO (World Meteorological Organization), IOC (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the UNESCO), UNEP (United Nations Environmental Program), and ICSU (International Council of Scientific Unions).

High Resolution land cover characteristics for the 2018 reference year. Small woody landscape features are important vectors of biodiversity and provide information on fragmentation of habitats with a direct potential for restoration while also providing a link to hazard protection and green infrastructure, amongst others. VHR_IMAGE_2018 made available in the ESA Copernicus DWH will be the main data source for the detection of small woody features identifiable within the given image resolution. The Small Woody Features (SWFs) layer contains woody linear and patchy elements but will not be further differentiated into trees, hedges, bushes and scrub. The spatial pattern shall be limited to linear structures and isolated patches on the basis of geometric characteristics.

Develop and validate different approaches to retrieve snow thickness over the sea ice, to develop a new prototype processor, and to produce and validate an experimental dataset of snow thickness over the Arctic.
