4 Copernicus – Support for Weather Predictions- sea-surface temperature over the Atlantic: blue areas - coldest & red - warmest - accuracy of a few tenths of a degree. Source: ECMWF The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is a worldwide leading international organisation that develops and operates global models to predict the behaviour of the atmosphere. Every day, its powerful computing systems assimilate in near real-time over 12 millions of observation data from about 60 satellites and from various ground networks. Source: ESA

8 Safer Seas Safety and reliability:ice monitoring and forecasting allows planning for safe and efficient transportation routes 800 million tones of goods are transported by ship every year in the Baltic Sea, with 40% transported during winter Cost savings: icebreaker fuel consumption reduced up to 50% transit times and costs reduced up to 2000 € per ship/day decreased cost of living for Northern communities
9 Where are the jellyfish?Facts: In the Mediterranean region, people are treated for jellyfish stings each year In 2013, jelly fish blocked a cooling water intake, prompting a Swedish nuclear reactor to shutdown In 2007, jellyfish wiped out a salmon farm in Northern Ireland killing fish Sentinel-3 is primarily an ocean mission that will provide accurate and reliable measurements on: Sea-surface temperature Ocean colour Sea-surface height Ocean currents Source: EU Copernicus Marine Service
10 Land Services Objective – to provide land-cover information for environment and other terrestrial applications Data collected and analysed – wide range of biophysical parameters – state of vegetation (leaf area index), energy budget, water cycle (soil moisture index) Land maps – high resolution Forest areas Agricultural areas Wetlands Small water bodies Specific areas of interest – urban atlas, biodiversity hot spots Thermal infrared sensors – global land monitoring Innovative altimeter – advanced monitoring of water levels of rivers and lakes worldwide Source: GeoVille & TU Vienna; Based on: MetOp ASCAT
11 Satellites aid reindeer herdersFacts Norway is home to the last remaining viable populations of wild reindeer in Europe Reindeer generally roam free on pasture grounds Benefits Timely and accurate information on snow cover and its changes in remote and vast circumpolar regions Detailed information about snow conditions over large areas Support for adapting to climate variability and change to maintain sustainable reindeer husbandry
12 Monitoring Construction Progress from Space20th Football World Cup in Brazil timely and accurate geospatial information to monitor infrastructure construction progress. This supports authorities and civil engineers in planning and managing construction sites (including sport stadiums). The Estádio Nacional - Brasília during and after construction. The construction process was tracked by the Pléiades satellite constellation before the 9th FIFA Confederations Cup, an international football tournament held from 15 to 30 June Source: AIRBUS DEFENSE & SPACE; Image: Pléiades
13 Copernicus Emergency Management Service GIO EMSEarthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, floods, storms claim human lives and cause serious damage GIO EMS Timely & Accurate data – before, during and after disasters Global coverage Quick data delivery, reliable info day-and-night, cloud free imagery Rush mode – immediate response Non-rush mode – prevention, preparedness, disaster risk reduction, recovery

25 Case Study
26 Case study: EUMETSAT EUMETSAT is the European operational satellite agency for monitoring weather, climate and the environment. Operate a system of meteorological satellites that observe the atmosphere and ocean and land surfaces – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This data is supplied to the National Meteorological Services of the organisation's Member and Cooperating States in Europe, as well as other users worldwide (USA, Korea, Africa).
27 EUMETSAT DisseminationEUMETCAST Near-Real-Time data stream Via encrypted DVB-S2 broadcast to subscribers Challenge: Future years satellite NRT will begin to exceed available data rate Demonstration service with GÉANT, network-based complement to EUMETCAST Leverages R&E network bandwidth and stability Designed to maintain the key EUMETCAST concepts Delivery as one-to-many-point PUSH streams, instead of user-initiated file download The same subscriber channels and product categorisations Maps well to existing data processing and delivery chain
28 EUMETCast Terrestrial Footprint OverviewAccessibility mainly within Europe to all Member States Prerequisite to accessibility is: eligibility to access the dissemination via NREN Currently 8 sites are registered with the multicast stream and receive data in near real-time in Europe and 3 sites overseas. Outreach to Asia - Korea (KMA) via cooperation between GEANT and our Asian partner networks Outreach to USA (NOAA) via cooperation - GEANT and Internet2 Outreach to Australia (NCI) via cooperation GEANT- TEIN and Asia-Pacific partner networks Feasibility of outreach to selected organisations located in Africa planned for 2016
