| Content Summary | eMACnet - the eastern Mediterranean Altimeter Calibration network, is the result of successful collaborative efforts in the Aegean area since the early 2000’s. Originally initiated with the Gavdos permanent absolute calibration facility and over the past four years with a second site at Kasteli, Crete, Greece, both of these sites in collaboration with the local team from the Tech. Univ. of Crete. Over the past two years our team expanded to include the Nation. Tech. Univ. of Athens (NTUA), in an attempt to obtain at a minimal cost data from existing facilities and future sites, of which six are now deployed and operating. The primary purpose of the extended network is the calibration and validation of altimeter data from current and future altimetric missions. The location of some of our sites though is such that they are also of interest to tsunami warning network operators and we thus intend to provide all of our observations in near real-time from these sites to the European Tsunami Warning System (TWS). At present, the KASTELI site in western Crete (a float tide gauge co-located with a radar gauge for calibration and back-up), is delivering 1-minute sampled data every 15 minutes via EUMETSAT’s EUMETCAST system. Four more tide gauges are in operation at the sites of PALEKASTRO, eastern Crete (with CGRS), MANI-KARAVOSTASI, in southern Peloponnese, EMPORIO, Chios, and THASOS, Northern Aegean. An additional system along with a CGRS receiver will be deployed either at KYMI, north of Athens on the island of EVIA or slightly north of that, on mainland Greece, pending negotiations with local authorities. This Aegean-wide network samples the following OSTM tracks, some of them in more than one location: 18, 33, 94, 109, and 185. We will present an overview of the project and results from the expanded network based on the latest release of IGDRs and our plans for supporting the future altimeter missions or JASON-3 and SWOT. | en |
