1 Finlands fjärranalyspolicy och satellitdataanvändning Yrjö Sucksdorff, Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) Fjärranalysdagarna 11 mars, 2009, Stockholm

2 Outline Earth Observation coordination in Finland National Space Strategy Satellitdataanvändning in Finland, examples Fjärranalysdagar i Finland, Sept-Oct 2009

3 Earth Observation coordination in Finland Main players The Finnish Space Committee TEKES, the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation The Academy of Finland Ministries Public Research Organisations Industry Public financing for the whole space sector in Finland was about 50M in 2008

4 The Finnish Space Committee Coordinating role Members/experts from ministries, public institutes and private sector Main areas space science, satellite remote sensing, satellite navigation, satellite telecommunications and space industry Meetings normally just before ESA Council meetings Tasks Prepares natioonal opinions on ESA matters Prepares and monitors the execution of the National Space Strategy Information delivery Eumetsat/GEOSS

5 TEKES Financing and expert organisation for research and technological development Finances R&D projects, focus on industry Industrial participation always needed in TEKES projects Especially promotes innovative, risk-intensive projects ESA coordination in Finland Contact point in Finland for EU s Space programme Has organised several support groups for EO matters at ESA and EU

6 The Academy of Finland Funding agency for basic research in Finland Lauches different research programmes (geoinformatics programme is ongoing) Contact point in Finland for EU s Environment and Research programmes

7 The Remote Sensing Club of Finland An unofficial association Established in 1993 Information exchange on remote sensing and image processing list for information delivery Fjärranalysdagarna once/year

8 National Space Strategy Was delivered to the Minister of Trade and Industry ( ) Objectives (specific for EO): Strengthen the utilisation of the space sector Strenghten Finlands role in international research programmes Strenghten participation in European cooperation programmes like Galileo, GMES and EUMETSATs programmes Develop national cooperation and specially publicprivate partnership

9 National Space Strategy Action Plan An Action Plan has been prepared for the implementation of the strategy The Action Plan includes tasks, timetables, responsibilities and status for different areas: Cooperation Applications Navigation Remote sensing Telecommunication Safety Education, science. technology, innovations Infrastructures, data and utilisation of these

10 Action Plan, Remote Sensing tasks Data availibility and cost effectiviness Participation in GMES and in the preparation of GMES governance Data availibility secured (EO and in-situ) Budget secured for operative applications Business opportunities will be devoleped for value added industry Users approach to develope services and financing Participation in industrial ITTs (space instruments etc) Promotion of business in EO services Strenghten international business opportunities in environmental measurements

11 Satellitdataanvändning in Finland, some examples VTT (Technical Research Centre), contact FMI (Finnish Meteorological Institute): METLA (Forest Research Institute): Pöyry Environment Oy: SYKE (Finnish Environment Institute):

12 VTT based operative applications using satellite data Probability method and software for the estimation of forest and land cover variables (users forest industry at world wide locations, SYKE) Sea ice monitoring to support winter navigation using satellite radar data (users Finnish and Swedish ice services) EnviMon satellite image preprocessing software EnsoMosaic imaging and orthoimage mosaic compilation method and software (airborne application, outsourced from VTT)

13 Present research focus, VTT Technical focus: super high resolution optical data, SAR, multiresolution data, resources inventory systems and concepts Application focus: forest, security, sea ice, environment, traffic Projects FP7 projects Geoland 2 on forest mapping, Talos on environment 3D visualization and Roadidea on traffic monitoring techniques (VTT EO parts) Floodfore - Flood forecast system Tekes project Carb Bal - Carbon balance estimation - Finnish Academy

14 EUMETSAT O3M SAF, FMI Satellite Application Facility on Ozone and Atmospheric Chemistry Monitoring Part of GOME-2 / Metop ground segment Also: Operational Forest Fire and Dispersion Monitoring

15 Snow Covered area, FMI Developed in Eumetsat HydroSAF and LandSAF- projects Data delivered through Eumetsat MSG Sevivi based daily snow covered area

16 SWE in Northern Eurasia, FMI Developed in ESA GMES project Polarview Data delivered through FMI (snow.fmi.fi) Daily product based on data assimilation with AMSR-E observations Resolution 25 km

17 Sea Ice, FMI (about half of the actions and personnel of Finnish Marine Research Institute was joined to FMI ) Most important operational applications: Ice conditions in the Baltic Sea through Finnish Ice Service High-resolution ice thickness charts based on SAR data Ice forecasts (val/cal) Major R&D projects: GSE Polar View (ESA/ongoing), GMES MyOcean (EC/ongoing), KaraX (National/ongoing)

18 Sodankylä-Pallas cal/val site, FMI Calibration and validation sites for satellites/research rtc.: Free in situ and geographical CAL/VAL-data availability Open database at: Accurate measurements for several soil, vegetation, atmospheric etc parameters (very good instrumentation) Possibility to arrange campaigns: guest houses, saunas,.

19 National Forest Inventory, METLA The first satellite image aided nation level inventory in the world (NFI8, ) The 10th NFI, , the entire country each year (5 years rotation) field plots in the entire country per rotation trees to be measured satellite image scenes per rotation

20 National Forest Inventory, METLA The methods are given in: Tomppo, E., Haakana, M., Katila, M. & Peräsaari, J Multi-source national forest inventory - Methods and applications. Managing Forest Ecosystems 18. Springer. 374 p. www:

21 Wide Spectrum of RS and GIS Services from Pöyry Satellite image distribution and image processing from all over the world Digital elevation models (DEM and DTM) Airborne and Terrestial Laser scanning Land use and Forest classifications Environmental monitoring (polution, climate, security, disaster) Water applications (Glacier change, flooding, utility) 3D mapping, urban planning

22 Use of satellite data at SYKE Operative monitoring (NRT) Snow melting season Fractional snow covered area Snow on ice Spring- summer Water quality Water surface temperature Algae Vegetation monitoring Long term monitoring Land cover, LC cange

23 Operative remote sensing, SYKE Over 400 endproducts yearly Thousands of other products

24 On going projects, SYKE Syke s R&D aims at operational environmental monitoring Several national and international cooperation projects are on-going: ESA, EU, Tekes, Finnish Academy, Eumetsat GMES (GSE PolarView, GlobSnow, EU-Life+: SnowCarbo and Vaccia, Geoland2, Corine2006 ) In Finland now very much efforts are put to snow/snow and climate related R&D Most of the projects are based in very good and open cooperation between public institutes, for SYKE specially cooperation with FMI

26 Fjärranalysdagar i Finland, Sept-Oct 2009 Yearly days in Finland, organized by the Remote Sensing Club Focus this year: To strengten Nordic/Baltic cooperation? Get some good project/research ideas Information delivery Informal discussion First meeting to plan the exact date and preliminary programme next Friday Host FMI or VTT All suggestions/ideas are welcome: yrjo.sucksdorff@ymparisto.fi
