CMEMS IN SUPPORT OF COPERNICUS MARITIME SURVEILLANCE SERVICE The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) is the Entrusted Entity responsible for delivering the Copernicus Maritime Surveillance service (CMS), in the framework of the Copernicus Security Service. The service is free of charge for authorized users performing operations in the maritime

FOREST TREE CARBON MAPPING Since Iberian Mediterranean ecosystems are very sensitive to climate change effects, they require adaptive management for assessment, monitoring and management of organic carbon in ecosystems, essential to achieve global change commitments at national level. However, such maps are difficult to produce and the

CONNECT Tagus is a local coastal monitoring service focused on the Tagus Estuary in the Lisbon metropolitan area.

JELLYX: A MONITORING TOOL TO DETECT JELLYFISH SWARMS Pollution, climate change, and marine habitats degradation are affecting ocean-based industries worldwide. Increasing events of jellyfish outbreaks that can reach hundreds of individuals per cubic meter are harmful to marine ecosystems and human health, with severe impacts on fisheries, tourism,

AGROSAT In Italy, the application of precision farming is very heterogeneous and covers only 1% of the whole agricultural area. Meanwhile the agricultural system is required to maximise the production when at the same time, with challenging climatic conditions, it needs to maintain high quality of standards and to comply with stricter

The ozone layer protects us from potentially harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. CAMS monitors stratospheric ozone and provides UV forecasts based on this information. Ozone is a colourless and very reactive gas that can be found throughout all layers of our atmosphere. Most ozone (about 90%) is found in the stratosphere, which begins at about

DROUGHT MONITORING IN ROMANIA In Romania, the complex agricultural drought is a climatic hazard phenomenon inducing the worst consequences in agriculture. The area subjected to desertification, characterized by an arid, semiarid or sub humid-dry climate is around 30% of the total surface of Romania. The operational service offers the monitoring

CROP MONITORING IN EUROPE The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) acquires and shares relevant data and develops tools and methods for Monitoring Agriculture ResourceS (MARS), which includes the acquisition and use of remote sensing imagery. The MARS activities support the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) in Europe and help ensure

Farm Sustainability Tool (FaST) - Space Data for Sustainable Farming The Farm Sustainability Tool (FaST) digital services platform is supported by the European Commission’s DG Agriculture and Rural Development, by the EU’s Space Programme (DG DEFIS) and by the EU’s ISA Programme (DG DIGIT).

SPOT – User-friendly oil spill model To minimize the terrible impact generated by oil spills in the oceans, it is important to intercept and collect them in time before they spread and reach the coast. For this, it is essential to understand the movement of oil as a floating slick, but this task is complex as the effect of currents, winds and

EU-DEM EGNOS visibility map was computed using the Digital Elevation Model over Europe (EU-DEM). The map shows all areas within the Digital Elevation Model over Europe where there is no visibility of one or both EGNOS operational geostationary satellites (PRN 120 and 123).
