Remote Sensing

Signe Aaboe works in the Division of Remote Sensing and Data Management at MET-Norway. She received her M.Sc. in physics-geophysics from the University of Copenhagen and has a Ph.D. in physical oceanography (2008) from the University of Bergen. Since 2013 she has worked as a remote sensing sea ice scientist with a focus on sea ice properties retrieved from passive microwave radiometers and scatterometers. Currently classification of different sea ice types and classes.

Trygve Halsne is based in Bergen and works in the Department of Remote Sensing and Data Management in the R&D division. He is mainly focusing on the distribution of Sentinel data in Norway and on data services.

Steinar Eastwood works in the Division for Remote Sensing and Datamanagement in the Research and Development Department. He has worked with remote sensing since 1997, with main focus on sea surface temperature, sea ice surface temperature, sea ice classification, snow cover and cloud masking.

Penelope Wagner is based at the Norwegian Ice Service in the Division for Forecasting in Tromsø. Penelope works on the validation, evaluation and assists with assimilation of remote sensing data products for operational use and to aid in sea ice monitoring and forecasts. Since 2006, she has been working with remote sensing applications to observe sea ice using optical, hyperspectral, scatterometer and passive microwave data for both planetary (Mars) and Earth Observation.
