How can EO data help with monitoring Covid-19 impacts on the society? For the closing date of Open Call Batch 10 (extended to the 17 April 2020 at 13:00 Amsterdam Local Time Zone), bidders are informed that proposals will also be considered which address rapid development and demonstration of innovative analysis methods to characterise the …
An experimental map of Europe at 10 m resolution displaying 13 land-cover classes can be viewed in full resolution on the CREODIAS EO Browser (select S2GLC and click search), or accessed as a WMS layer for expert use. It has been developed by processing Sentinel-2 data on the cloud with an almost fully automated approach. …
The European Earth Observation sector is currently facing important developments concerning managing of large volumes of EO data coming from Copernicus as well as national European missions. These are already reaching the Petabyte scale and growing along with the needs of the user community to have a real-time and unobstructed access to existing satellite data …
A sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) is a large-scale meteorological phenomenon in the winter stratosphere, which involves a rapid rise in the polar temperature by a few tens of kelvins in several days. SSWs are triggered by an injection of stationary planetary waves from the troposphere. These events are rare in the Southern Hemisphere, therefore they …
On 10 March 2020 the EO and AI for health and urban resilience workshop was transmitted in live streaming. The main themes covered were: The Effects of Climate Change and Pollution on Human Health (particularly in the urban environment) Vector Borne Diseases, in particular zoonoses (e.g. West Nile Virus, Rift Valley Fever, Malaria) Waterborne Infectious …
The objective of the ESA Baltic Regional Initiative is to enhance the use of state-of-the art European satellite missions (ESA and European missions) to support definition and cooperative implementation of regional priorities in the Baltic, in line with national policy objectives of the Baltic Rim development, in the context of the relevant EU legislation, as …
Accurate measurement of precipitation over the relevant space and time scales is a challenge. The SMOS+RAINFALL project has the objective to ingest satellite soil moisture information derived from ASCAT, SMOS and SMAP into the latest state-of-the-art satellite precipitation products like those derived from the Global Precipitation Measurement mission (GPM) to enhance rainfall observation accuracy over land. Access the datasets generated by …
According to IMBIE (Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise) most recent analyses, Greenland and Antarctica lost 6.4 trillion tonnes of ice between 1992 and 2017 – pushing global sea levels up by 17.8 millimetres, on track with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s worst-case climate warming scenario. Read the full story and Nature scientific articles …
The aim of this EO Atlantic Regional Initiative applications development is to embed EO-derived information into pre-operational regional monitoring, assessment and planning activities (e.g. enhanced environmental monitoring and assessment, improved management of natural resources in the region, support to regional programmes in the fields of economic development, civil security and climate resilience). The objective is …
Carbon is a constituent of all terrestrial life. Carbon begins its cycle through different ecosystems when plants assimilate atmospheric CO2 through photosynthesis into reduced sugars. One of the biggest unknowns in carbon cycle research concerns the land component of the carbon system. The uncertainties in both pools and fluxes of CO2 are high and the …
