Context Earth Observation in Europe and GEO

EARTH OBSERVATION Earth Observation: Earth observation is used to monitor and assess the status of, and changes in Earth environment. Gathering of information about planet Earth's physical, chemical and biological systems via remote sensing technologies. wikipedia defintion File:Global map showing where average sea level in 2011 was above or below the long-term average (1993-2011) (NOAA).jpg Data Systems: Satellite and in situ data collection Value Adding Systems: Information extraction from data

OBJECTIVES NextGEOSS Objectives 1. Engage communities promoting innovative GEOSS powered applications from Europe 2. Deliver the next generation data hub and Earth Observation exploitation for innovation and business 3. Advocate GEOSS as a sustainable European approach for Earth Observation data distribution and exploitation

ENGAGE Innovative Pilots Six R&D focused pilot activities: Time Series Analysis for Agricultural Monitoring Scale up Time Series analysis tools to huge amounts of HR EO-data 2. Remote Sensing of Essential Biodiversity Essential Biodiversity Variables (RS-EBVs) for habitat mapping and monitoring 3. Space and Security To provide tools and processes for detecting and characterizing changes 4. Cold Regions To provide a set of remote sensing, in situ and model products for science and education 5. Air Pollution, Urban Growth, and Health Risks in Megacities Analysis of air pollution trends, urban growth rates and health risk indicators for megacities 6. Disaster Risk Reduction Enhance a multi-hazard risk assessment based on the statistical analysis of long time series of data Land Data Connectors SPOT-VEGETATION: Daily global coverage of land at 1Km of spatial resolution. PROBA-V: Daily global coverage of land at 300m resolution and every 5 days global coverage at 100m. Copernicus Global Land Service: offers a global systematic monitoring service providing near real time bio geophysical parameters at global scale on vegetation state and dynamics and on land cover change. On-demand derived vegetation products from Sentinel-2 or other HR sensors. STAC database containing in-situ measurements: a wide variety of variables measured on the ground e.g. phenological stages, leaf area index, harvest yields, vegetation parameters, soil characteristics. Atmosphere Data Connectors The main data sources for Atmospheric data to be considered are from the Observing System Analysis and Review Tool (OSCAR) and the Global Atmosphere Watch Station Information System (GAWSIS). Both of these systems are operated by MeteoSwiss and they will be evolved to support the implementation of an ISO 19115/19156 compliant API for data access. The data connector will access these systems through an OGC OpenSearch interface to retrieve the metadata in a format compliant with the Catalogue (INSPIRE). Marine Data Connectors The main sources of marine data are CMEMS, MANIDA, Emodnet, OPEC and SeaDataNet and they provide INSPIRE compliant data accessible through OGC CSW interfaces. Both of these standards are natively supported by the harvesting engine. Citizen Observatories The data harvester will retrieve data from several European citizen observatories that were initiated by several EC funded projects (e.g. CITISENSE, WeSenseIt, Cobweb, CitClops, Omniscientis). The data for these projects are available through OGC WFS, OGC SOS interfaces following SensorML and WaterML formats. Commercial Providers The commercial data is organized in the Copernicus Data Warehouse, as part of the Copernicus Space Component Data Access system (CSCDA). Therein, data from the Copernicus contributing missions (mostly licenced by commercial distributors) is purchased by ESA to serve the needs of the Copernicus Core Services and other Copernicus users. The HMA (Heterogeneous Missions Accessibility) standard (partly also standardized by OGC) allows access to the catalogs of most European EO missions, especially those of commercial providers, such as DMI. The data harvester will deploy a mechanisms which implements the HMA standardization for data access supporting not only the current commercial data available in GSCDA but also new coming from negotiations with data providers.

ENGAGE Market Oriented Pilots Four market focused pilot activities: High Resolution Mapping for Territorial Planning Make available a set of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) mapping and change detection tools for urban environments using high and very high resolution optical imagery 2. Crop Monitoring supporting Food Security Use of Sentinel-2 for crop monitoring in collaboration with industry 3. Smart Cities Smart cities use the ISO 37120 and we will see how that maps on the SDG for EO, and how smart city sensors will be integrated in the in-situ EO 4. Energy Generation of Gridded data for grid operators and High Resolution Solar Mapping at Urban Scale Land Data Connectors SPOT-VEGETATION: Daily global coverage of land at 1Km of spatial resolution.
