The Remote Sensing and Products (RSP) Division is tasked with providing the scientific expertise required to develop, implement, validate, maintain and evolve the operational observational products for all EUMETSAT satellites and agreed third party missions, as well as establishing the user requirements for future EUMETSAT and Copernicus satellite programmes.
The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission is a European satellite designed for the monitoring of the Earth’s oceans, lands, ice, and atmosphere. EUMETSAT operates these satellites on behalf of the European Commission, in close cooperation with ESA. EUMETSAT is also responsible for processing and distributing the marine data and near-real-time (NRT) atmosphere products, including two operational NRT aerosols and fires products. New products such as cloud mask, cloud properties, dust, aerosol layer height, or water vapour content, are also being developed and will be implemented operationally in the next years.
Within the Clouds and Aerosols Competence Area (ClA-CA) of the Remote Sensing and Products Division (RSP), the Remote Sensing Scientist –Atmosphere Products will work on the retrieval of atmospheric parameters from Sentinel-3 optical observations.
Advanced university degree or equivalent in remote sensing of atmospheric composition parameters, meteorology, physics or another relevant discipline.
