FRM4s6
The aim of the FRM4S6 project is to calibrate Sentinel-6 altimeter measurements to absolute reference signals traceable to SI-standards with different techniques, various processes and diverse instrumentation and settings using the Permanent Facility for Altimetry Calibration (PFAC) in Crete, Greece.
The objective of the FRM4S6 project is to collect and analyze in-situ measurements of Fiducial Reference Measurements (FRM) quality from the PFAC together with Copernicus Sentinel-6 satellite measurements that will be used to demonstrate the performance of Sentinel-6 at Commissioning Phase Reviews and at the end of the Sentinel-6 Tandem Phase.

Absolute calibration of satellite altimeters, during their lifetime, by external and independent facilities, is a prerequisite for a continuous, homogenous and reliable monitoring of the earth, its oceans and climate change.
