Abstract
Using a combination of multi-directional SAR and TIR measurements, the Harmony Earth Explorer 10 mission candidate will provide high resolution simultaneous measurements of surface stress, surface currents SST and wave spectra over oceans, 3-D deformation vectors over solid Earth, and time-series of surface elevation changes over volcanic areas and land ice masses. This will serve a series of science objectives aimed at better understating multi-scale processed and feedbacks in the Earth System.
