The fields of application were just as broad as the user community, with three headlines from the 1990s illustrating this: “On El Niño’s trail – ERS-1 measures the temperature of the ocean current.” “Satellite eyes focused on environmental polluters – ERS-1 detects ships discharging oil on the sea.” “Looking through the ice with radar eyes – ERS-1 investigates the relief of the ocean ground under the arctic ice cover.” Furthermore, wind direction and velocity above the oceans could be measured, and so-called "monster waves" could be detected.
