Ice Data for iOS05/01/2012 |
| ESA has presented the CryoSat iPhone and iPad application, or CryoSatApp, which can be downloaded from Apple's App Store. CryoSatApp's main menu provides access to four sections: mission description, a 3D model of the satellite, position tracking and data visualisation. |
|
Information on CryoSat's current position is automatically updated, including its visibility over selected ground stations. Users can also track the satellite's position in relation to the iPhone or iPad's geographical location.
The 3D model feature allows users to zoom in on how the satellite is built and discover its instruments - such as the radar altimeter for measuring ice thickness.
The data feature gives access to all of CryoSat's measurements, assisting visualising the ice sheets by providing a vertical profile over the area. All geophysical parameters stored in the CryoSat products can be displayed as soon as they are generated on the ground. Users can select the day and orbit from which they want to extract the data, and view Earth's ice profile from that orbit.
ESA's Earth Observation Data Policy allows for free and open access to satellite data.

Using Total Stations for Indoor Radiation Mapping |
|
A total station can be used for many applications. Oak Ridge Associated Universities (USA) uses a total station for indoor radiation characterisation, which enables the team to better perform environmental assessments. This video shows how it is done.
