Sentinel Thematic Areas – Atmospheric Monitoring
The Copernicus Sentinel missions support atmospheric monitoring by providing timely, continuous and independent data on the atmosphere, and provide data to support federal, national and local studies and activities, and help in addressing a variety of policy areas. Sentinel-3 OLCI supports investigations into atmospheric composition (mainly aerosols and water vapour) which is a fundamental parameter for […]
Sentinel Thematic Areas – Security
The Copernicus Sentinel missions provide data support to federal, national and local studies and activities, and are pivotal in helping address a variety of policy areas. In terms of EO services requirements, the needs of the downstream security services that utilise Sentinel data are broadly similar to those of the emergency service, but differ in […]
Sentinel Thematic Areas – Marine Monitoring
The Copernicus Sentinel missions support marine monitoring by providing provide timely, continuous and independent data on the behaviour, use, and health of the oceans and the associated coastal zones. The Sentinel missions provide data support to federal, national and local studies and activities, and are pivotal in helping address a variety of policy areas. Sentinel-1 provides […]
Sentinel Thematic Areas – Emergency Management
The Coprenicus Sentinel missions support emergency management by providing timely, continuous and independent data on a near-real-time basis. The Sentinel missions provide data support to federal, national and local studies and activities, and are pivotal in helping address a variety of policy areas. The SAR instrument of Sentinel-1 provides the ability to produce high resolution, co-seismic maps […]
Sentinel Thematic Areas – Climate Change
The Copernicus Sentinel missions support climate change studies by providing data that can be used to supplement heritage time-series acquisitions. This information can provide additional weight to data acquired by European and international Earth observation programmes, and supports the response and management of related policy issues within Europe at federal, national and local levels. Sentinel-1 provides […]
Sentinel Thematic Areas – Land Monitoring
The role of the Sentinel missions is to provide timely, continuous and independent data on the use of land as a resource, and to support the management and monitoring of its ability to withstand increasing socio-economic pressures. Land monitoring covers a wide range of resources and associated policies: soils water agriculture forests ecology sites energy […]
