This project aims to develop and validate an atmospheric corrections scheme to produce high quality surface reflectance from Sentinel-2 data for coastal waters. The objective of this study is to develop, test, implement and validate methods (or combination of methods) for deriving atmospheric correction above coastal waters and over inland waters, to validate them according …
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 …
SAR altimetry missions are boosting new developments in fields that exploit the quality of high-resolution products for sea surface topography, wave height, and wind speed. To review recent progress in and discuss future plans for altimetry technology at coasts, 88 scientists from 28 countries met at the 11th Coastal Altimetry Workshop earlier this summer. Read more …
The “CryoSat Plus for Oceans” (CP4O) project, supported by the ESA Support to Science Element (STSE) Programme and by CNES, was dedicated to the exploitation of CryoSat-2 data over the open and coastal ocean. The general objectives of the CP4O project were: To build a sound scientific basis for new oceanographic applications of CryoSat-2 data; …
Through the provision of access to large volumes of EO and in-situ data, computing resources, algorithm development space and the fundamental processing software required to extract temporal and spatial information from Big Data, C-TEP shall provide a dedicated service for the observation and monitoring of our coastal environment and society. Integration of satellite EO data, …
The objective of this contract is to develop and demonstrate a portfolio of EO based information services that can be embedded into a critical mass of investment projects funded by International Development Banks which address marine and coastal issues. The main focus will be information services addressing coastal dynamics (bathymetry, coastal erosion, sedimentation), coastal environment …
The first ESA Training Course on Radar and Optical Remote Sensing was held in Cēsis, Latvia, from 5 to 9 September 2016. The course was hosted by the Institute for Environmental Solutions (IES). 30 researchers, MSc and PhD students and professionals from Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia attended the course. The training team included …
In 2016 ESA, in cooperation with the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Faculty of Geodesy and Ministry of Economy, organized a Radar Remote Sensing training course addressed to participants from universities, scientific communities, institutions and organizations that are making use of geoinformation. The course provided participants with an introduction to radar remote sensing …
In 2015 ESA in cooperation with the University Maribor and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science organised a Radar Remote Sensing training course addressed to participants from universities, scientific communities, institutions and organisations that are making use of geoinformation. The course provided participants with an introduction to radar remote sensing technology as well …
