Scientific Data Exploitation Element of the Earth Observation Envelope Program (EOEP-5) aims at supporting the scientific community and value-adding companies of Baltic Member States to carry out leading edge research activities to advance the use of ESA and non-ESA EO missions towards the achievement of major scientific challenges identified by Baltic Earth community for the …
The Baltic Regional Initiative Project Office will be put in place to address stakeholder engagement, promotion and communication actions linked to the ESA developments and to provide feedback from the stakeholders in each of the regions on evolving priorities to be addressed by the future ESA funded activities. The Project Office will also be in …
The aim of the Baltic Initiative Applications element is to embed EO-derived information into pre-operational regional monitoring, assessment and planning activities. This includes 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 across the following domains: …
The focus on a digital economy puts the Baltic region on the top of the list of innovative areas in Europe manifesting in a high condensation of national and regional science and technology parks, incubators, start-ups, and innovation centres which are spurring disruptive entrepreneurship environment. As a result the entities in the region develop many …
Height systems and related sea level observations are based on a number of measurement systems, which all have their own characteristics and deliver different type of observations. Traditionally, sea level is observed at tide gauge stations, which usually also serve as height reference stations for national levelling networks and therefore define a height system of …
The current knowledge of the water circulation in the Baltic Sea comes essentially from in situ observations and models. The Baltic+ SEAL (Sea Level) Project aims at providing a consistent description of the sea level variability in the Baltic Sea area in terms of seasonal and inter-annual variation and put the results in relationship with …
This project aims to study the potential benefit of incorporating satellite-derived Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) measurements into oceanographic and environmental applications within the Baltic Sea. For such purpose, a team led by ARGANS Ltd (UK) with participation of Barcelona Expert Centre (BEC / ICM-CSIC, Spain) and the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI, Finland) will develop an …
The overall goal of the ESA funded project Baltic+ SeaLaBio (Sea-Land Biogeochemical linkages) running from Dec 2018 to May 2020 is to develop methods for assessing carbon dynamics and eutrophication in the Baltic Sea through integrated use of EO, models, and ground-based data The poor state of the Baltic Sea again became apparent during summer …
