Their payloads included a synthetic aperture imaging radar, radar altimeter and instruments to measure ocean surface temperature and wind fields.\r\n\r\nERS-2 added an additional sensor for atmospheric ozone monitoring. The two satellites acquired a combined data set extending over two decades.\r\n\r\nThe ERS-2 satellite was retired on 05 September 2011.","keywords":"European Remote Sensing satellite, ERS, ERS-2","identifier_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/5070/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/9540/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/5072/?format=json"],"platformType":"satellite","parentPlatform":[],"childPlatform":[],"responsiblepartyinfo_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/32307/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/32308/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/74998/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/108908/?format=json"]}
