CNES-ISRO Second Science Workshop on
Megha-Tropiques held in Paris during July, 2001
This scientific workshop/
meeting was held in Paris, CNES, during 2-6 July 2001. The purpose, in its first
part, was to address the scientific issues of Megha-Tropiques, then, in the
second part, to begin the review of processing methods and algorithmes which
could be applied on the data. The programme of the meeting is given below
