Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem
The Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem provides free instant access to a wide range of data and services from the Copernicus Sentinel missions.
Synergy of space data helps modernise irrigation systems
The growing demands on agriculture, coupled with the climate crisis, are pressurising Earth’s valuable freshwater resources and making assessment of water practices ever more important.
ESA missions help to reveal worldwide lake water loss trend
Climate change, human consumption and sedimentation are depleting more than half of the world’s biggest lakes of water, according to a ground-breaking analysis that drew on three decades of satellite data.
Remote sensing data map impacts of natural hazards
As climate change increases the frequency and severity of natural disasters, remote sensing data can warn about extreme events and help tackle emergency situations.
Announcement of Opportunity for S3VT (Sentinel-3 Validation Team)
In the framework of a Copernicus collaborative agreement ESA and EUMETSAT invite interested groups and individuals to support the Sentinel-3 Validation Team (S3VT).
How SNAP facilitates access to ESA Third Party Missions data
The tool – called the Sentinel Applications Platform (SNAP) – incorporates high-quality remote sensing data from numerous missions, including those operated by the agency’s international partners, known as Third Party Missions (TPM).
Campaign using surface reflectance data to support validation of Earth observation products
Scientists from around the world are set to take part in a drone monitoring campaign and inter-comparison exercise that will deliver surface reflectance data to support the validation of Earth observation products.
MUltisource data package tools and SErvices (MUSE)
The MUSE project aims to develop and integrate a tool to simultaneously manipulate geospatial data products, satellite, model and in-situ data.
New open-source Python library improves rapid mapping services
In emergency services, rapid response is paramount. ICube-SERTIT’s Rapid Mapping Service provides near real-time delivery of geo-information to help emergency services respond quickly to disasters such as flooding, fires and landslides. A new Python open-source library, called EOReader, speeds up this mapping response by enabling the easy opening of imagery from multiple satellite sensors, both optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR).
Space and the Arctic 2009 Workshop
Temperatures in the Arctic are rising at an unprecedented rate. This workshop looked at the needs and challenges of working and living in the rapidly changing Arctic and explore how space-based services might help to meet those needs.
Insurance Industry Workshop on Earth Observation
This ESA workshop examined the potential value of satellite Earth Observation data to the insurance industry.
Φ-Week Triumphs
In its fourth edition, Φ-Week presented the scientific community with amazing opportunities and projects—thus running alongside innovation at 360 degrees.
Eight years of SMOS Arctic sea ice thickness level now available from SMOS Data dissemination portal
Daily maps of sea ice thickness based on SMOS Observations, covering the winter seasons in the Arctic for the period of October-April from year 2010/2011 to year 2017/2018, are now available.
Guidelines-for-the-SAR-Delay-Doppler-L1b-Processing.pdf
The purpose of this document is to present the major theoretical guidelines for a standard SAR (aka Delay Doppler) Processing from low-level data (FBR, aka L1a) to multi-looked waveforms (L1b) in case of the Closed-Burst instrument transmission mode (CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3 case).
GSCB and LTDP
The Copernicus programme is based on a fleet of European Earth observation satellites, built and operated by ESA, member states and commercial entities. Copernicus will also offer data from non-European satellites.
EO Science for Society
ESA's Earth Observation Science for Society programme aims to promote scientific exploitation of satellite data, forges new scientific discoveries and pioneers new services, stimulating downstream industrial and economic growth.
Hydrology TEP
The Hydrology Thematic Exploitation Platform (TEP) enables access, processing, uploading, visualisation, manipulation and comparison of hydrological data.
Geohazards TEP
The Geohazards Thematic Exploitation Platform (TEP) aims to provide Earth observation data for supporting geohazards applications.
Copernicus Sentinel-3
Copernicus Sentinel-3 is an European Earth Observation satellite mission developed to support Copernicus ocean, land, atmospheric, emergency, security and cryospheric applications.
New Campaign datasets available
A new set of datasets is available, acquired during airborne campaigns conducted between 2014 and 2019
