| Main activity | The CERSAT (Centre ERS d'Archivage et de Traitement) / Laboratory of Oceanography From Space is part of IFREMER (French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea). It was created in 1991 as a node of the ESA (European Space Agency) ground segment for the ERS-1 and ERS-2 Earth observation satellites, performing off-line processing of the ERS-1 and ERS-2 low-bit rate sensors. The CERSAT has then evolved towards a multi-mission data centre for archiving, processing and validating data from spaceborne sensors (such as altimeters, scatterometers, radiometers, SAR,...) with a focus on sea surface parameters and air-sa interactions. |

Ifremer A pioneer in ocean science, IFREMER's cutting-edge research is grounded in sustainable development and open science.His vision is to advance science, expertise and innovation to protect and restore the ocean, sustainably use marine resources to benefit societ, create and share ocean data, information & knowledge. With more than 1,500 personnel spread along the French coastline in more than 20 sites, the institute explores the 3 great oceans: the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Founded in 1984, IFREMER is a French public organization and its budget approximates 240 million euros.
