The Aquarius mission's primary science objective was to demonstrate accurate remote sensing of sea surface salinity, but research teams built upon the mission’s capabilities to extract additional data.

New insights into Antarctica’s shifting landscape:

The SCAR-endorsed GIANT-REGAIN project has released a new, consistent GNSS data set from 286 Antarctic sites. This resource will help scientists study bedrock movement, ice mass changes & sea-level rise. doi.org/10.5194/essd-17-1761…

Depending on who is using it and to what end, sea ice data can be misinterpreted & lead many to the wrong conclusions. On occasion, sea ice observations have even been shoehorned into disinformation campaigns about Earth’s climate & how it's changing. bit.ly/47hKbMl

The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer could collect observations in daylight & nighttime conditions & in any kind of weather. These remote sensing capabilities are crucial to observing polar regions year-round.

🏔️ "The Gamburtsev Mountains are similar in scale and shape to the European Alps. But we can’t see them because the high alpine peaks and deep glacial valleys are entombed beneath kilometres of ice." — @jaxhalpin @UTAS_ & Nathan Daczko @Macquarie_Uni theconversation.com/antarcti…
