The financial benefits of the Copernicus programme, as well as opportunities for sustainable economic growth and job creation in Europe, came into focus recently in Athens, Greece.
Just weeks after the launch of Sentinel-1A, ESA and Greece have signed a first arrangement that establishes access to Sentinel data, marking a significant step forward in their exploitation.
While Sentinel-1A is clearly demonstrating its versatility for monitoring many aspects of Earth, it has already been used for practical purposes. One of the satellite’s first images was crucial in helping Namibian authorities decide how to respond to a serious flood.
ESA is pleased to announce the availability of the Sentinel-1A real products, ready for download from the Sentinel Data Hub.
Melting at one of the largest ice caps on Earth has produced a big jump in its flow speed, satellite imagery suggests.
From climate change monitoring to supporting humanitarian aid and crisis situations, early data applications from the month-old Sentinel-1A satellite show how the radar mission's critical observations can be used to keep us and our planet safe.
Coastal Satellite Altimetry data, including those from ESA's Envisat mission, have not been fully exploited yet, because the sea level estimation in coastal areas is considered unreliable.
The latest release of NEST (NEXT ESA SAR Toolbox) 5.1 is available for free on the NEST website.
Oceanic internal waves play an important role in nutrient distribution, primary productivity, acoustic propagation, coral reef growth, and submarine navigation. It is very difficult to measure the internal wave field because it has a complex three-dimensional structure and its motion is affected both by the structure of vertical stratification and by horizontal mean currents.
Over the last year, engineers have been carefully testing and piecing together the multitude of components that make up Sentinel-3. The recent arrival of the infrared radiometer is a milestone in the exacting process of building this upcoming Copernicus mission.
Calling on all interested users of Sentinel data, who would like to submit their results, turning their experiences into 'success stories'.
If you have a good story to tell, of how any of the Sentinel satellites are producing data that bring benefit to your work and/or to society, please contact the Sentinel Online Editors at: contentmatters4sentinelonline@ejr-quartz.com with your proposals.
