The GAMBLE project: a fresh approach to satellite remote sensing of the sea.

Global Altimeter Measurements by Leading Europeans (GAMBLE) is a project, funded by the European Commission, which aims to mobilize the community of specialists in radar altimetry within Europe. The main objective is to investigate how to maximize the synergy between satellite altimetry missions before launch. This makes GAMBLE unique in the annals of planning future satellite missions over the oceans and represents a notable first for Europe.
