SMAP/ICESat-­2 Joint Mission Applications Tutorial

September 18-20, 2012, Fairbanks, Alaska

Hosted by the Alaska Satellite Facility

The SMAP/ICESat-2 tutorial is a unique opportunity to collect and distribute informacion about different user needs while discussing how SMAP (launch October 2014) soil moisture and surface freeze/thaw state data products can be used in parallel with ICESat-2 (launch 2016) altimetry data.

Goals of the SMAP Applications Tutorial:
• Value-added data products and science returns from combined SMAP/ICESat-2 data.
• Identify the challenges and needs of cryosphere, northern forests, land and ocean science
applications.
• Identify new users for SMAP mapping radar and ICESat-2 altimetry data, e.g. vegetation
mapping, sea-ice mapping, etc.
• Motivate joint mission efforts and innovative applications with prelaunch hydrosphere
and cryosphere applications using other mission products from existing missions.
