Team and roles

The Ocean Heat Flux project team involves a consortium 9 partner institutes, led by Ifremer. In particular, while a core set of organizations will support the implementation of the data portal and processing, a group of international experts will support the project in the assessment of the Ocean Heat Flux products and results. The Ocean Heat Flux project is funded by the European Space Agency through its Support to Science Element (STSE) program, and supervised by project officer Pierre-Philippe Mathieu.
