Expertise Centers (CEC)

The Expertise Centers (CEC) are the scientific-side of the CATDS. They host the co-located algorithms definition and processors development, assess the quality of the products, and provide specific information to users.

There are two CATDS Expertise Centers :

• one co-located at CERSAT, Ifremer Brest and LOCEAN, Paris dedicated to Ocean Salinity (CEC-OS)
