  Exploitation of AnGular effects in Land surfacE observations from satellites (EAGLE) is a new project financed by European Union (contract number: SST3-CT-2003-502057).

    EAGLE is funded from the Sixth Framework Programme Priority.

    Nowadays, a new generation of global imaging spectroradiometers capable of acquiring simultaneous multi-angle observations are onboard of several satellites (for instance, AATSR-ENVISAT or ATSR2-ERS). Remote sensing approaches using wide field-of-view scanners such as the AVHRR-NOAA have often obviated the angular dependence of reflected and emitted radiation. For this reason, with the new sensors generation, new approaches and quantitative improvements in accuracy are achievable.

    The main objective of EAGLE is to create strong interfaces with the user community and with operational production services to be implemented in Europe in the GMES framework and this will contribute to the establishment of a European Capacity for global monitoring of environment.

    Several scientific European groups take part in this project: GCU-UVEG from Spain (as EAGLE coordinator), ULP from France and ITC, NLR and ALTERRA from Netherlands.

    EAGLE runs from February-2004 to July-2007.
