The Level-2 Product Algorithm Development (L2PAD) project is a four-year (2023-2027) activity initiated and funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) to prepare Polar Oceans and Global Land Level-2 algorithms and Ground Processing Prototype (GPP) software for the Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer (CIMR) Expansion mission.

The CIMR L2PAD project is implemented by a consortium of European and Canadian partners, under the lead of the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (METNO). CIMR L2PAD started in late 2023.
All software, data, and algorithm documentations from CIMR L2PAD will be open, in particular the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBDs) and the Level-2 prototype algorithms and GPP.
