Job description For our customer, EUMETSAT in Darmstadt, Germany, we are seeking a Support for the Maintenance and Development of the Operational ASCAT Product Processing Facility. The ASCAT is an instrument flown on all METOP satellites, which allows measuring a fundamental geophysical parameter of the Earth surface, the Normalised Radar Cross Section NRCS, also known as sigma0 or normalised backscatter. The NRCS is further used by EUMETSAT partners to estimate winds over the ocean surface, soil moisture over land and sea ice surface characteristics. A followon instrument SCA will be flown also in the EPSSG satellites. The NRCS data is provided in the EPS Core Ground Segment at EUMETSAT by the ASCAT Level 1 PPF and constitutes what is known as the ASCAT Level 1 products.
