Towards a European Artificial intelligence for Earth Observation (AI4EO) R&I Agenda
Over the last decade, rapid developments in digital technologies and in our capability to monitor our home planet from space with Earth Observation (EO) satellites have led to new and huge opportunities for science and businesses. There is an increasing need to mine the large amount of data generated by the new generation of satellites …
New Achievements in Coastal Altimetry
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 …
Calculate air-sea CO2 fluxes with FluxEngine v3
FluxEngine is an open source toolbox for calculating air-sea CO2 gas fluxes from in situ, model and Earth Observation data. We are pleased to announce that version 3 of the FluxEngine toolbox is now available. Version 3 now includes: auto-installers and/or install instructions (e.g. you can use it on a Windows, Linux or Mac laptop) …
Technology and atmospheric mission platform – OPerations (TOP)
Prime company: SISTEMA GMBH (AT)The atmospheric mission platform has demonstrated that (1) multiple data sources (the “data triangle” namely satellite-based products, numerical model output, and ground measurements) can be simultaneously exploited by users (mainly scientists), and (2) a fully Virtual Research Environment that allows avoiding the download of all data locally, and retrieving only the processing results is the …
How much water is used for irrigation?
Feeding a growing global population is a major concern, but efforts to grow more food will place an added burden on precious supplies of freshwater. New research shows how measurements of soil moisture from space could be used to understand how much water is used for agriculture and potentially help farmers manage consumption. A new …
1992-2017 Ocean Heat Flux Time Series
We are pleased to announce that the OceanHeat project team has released a new data set of ocean turbulent heat fluxes estimated from various remotely sensed data. The determination of latent and sensible heat fluxes as well as of the related bulk variables, is based on the use of the European Space Agency (ESA) Ocean Heat …

Watch live: Earth Observation summer school lectures
Every two years, ESA’s Earth observation summer schools draws young scientists from all over the world to learn more about remote sensing, Earth system science, modelling and monitoring, and how data can be used to better understand the world we live in. This year, the two-week summer school is being held on 30 July to …
Earth System data lab
Thanks to satellites a wealth of information is at our fingertips to understand the different components of our planet and how these components interact to form the Earth system as a whole. However, despite unprecedented progress in analysing and understanding the stream of data we have available, it still remains a challenge to analyse multiple …
