3 Copernicus architecture 6 services use Earth Observation data to deliver Sentinels Contributing missions Contributing missions In situ observations added-value products Space in-situ

4 Copernicus Space Component: Dedicated Missions S1: Radar Mission S2: High Resolution Optical Mission S3: Medium Resolution Imaging and Altimetry Mission S4: Geostationary Atmospheric Chemistry Mission S5P: Low Earth Orbit Atmospheric Chemistry Precursor Mission S5: Low Earth Orbit Atmospheric Chemistry Mission S6 (Jason-CS): Altimetry Mission Space

5 Continuity until 2030 S1A S2A S3A Successful S1B launch 25 April 2016 Space

6 Sentinel-1A & 1B now at Full Operational Capacity This interferogram combines a Sentinel-1A radar scan from 9 June 2016 over southern Romania with a Sentinel-1B acquisition from 15 June over the same area Sentinel-2A Observation plan is published online ahead of every repeat cycle as kml at 2/acquisition-plans Sentinel-3A now in its operational qualification (ramp-up) phase. Expected to be completed at IOCR+9 months, i.e. spring 2017 Space 6

10 Copernicus Land Monitoring Service + Overall In-situ Coordination

11 Land Monitoring Service From global e.g. Vegetation dynamics, Biophysical parameters, energy balance to pan-european e.g. bio-diversity, water bodies, land-use, land change to local e.g. urban land-use

12 Global Land Service DG JRC Continuity and more biophysical variables for more application fields 13 products (vegetation-energy-water-snow) providing a picture of the world every ten days, with move from 1km resolution to 300m, soon to be expanded to 29 products, Product Family Vegetation Energy Budget Product (Variable) Full name Leaf Area Index Fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation Fraction of vegetation cover Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Vegetation Condition Index Vegetation Productivity Index Greeness Evolution Index Dry Matter Productivity Phenology metrics Evapotranspiration Radiation fluxes Global Land Cover Active Fires Burnt Areas Top Of Canopy Reflectance Surface Albedo Land Surface Temperature Acronym LAI FAPAR Fcover NDVI VCI VPI GEI DMP PHENO ET GLC AF BA Toc-R SA LST Product Family Water Full name Surface Soil Moisture Soil Water Index Water Bodies Acronym SSM SWI WB Snow Snow water extend SE Snow water equivalent SWE Lake Coastal Lake ice coverage Lake surface water temperature Lake and river water level Lake surface reflectance Lake turbidity Lake trophic state Erosion Product (Variable)

14 Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service

15 Marine Environment Monitoring Service Ice Currents Sea Level Biogeochemistry Temperature Salinity A 3D and consistent estimation of the ocean Global and Regional Real time and Reanalyses Satellite & In Situ obs. and Models

16 Marine Environment Monitoring Service Service portfolio: 11 product groups with ~140 data products covering Ocean state Analysis and Forecast Observation Product groups Global Ocean Arctic Ocean Baltic Sea Atlantic-European North West Shelf Ocean Atlantic-Iberian Biscay Irish Ocean Mediterranean Sea Black Sea Sea Level Ocean Colour Sea Surface Temperature, Sea Ice, Wind In-situ (Temperature, Salinity, Bio)

17 Marine application areas Examples of Marine application areas Ship routing Support to offshore activities Coastal management Oil-drift forecasting Search and rescue Fisheries Algal bloom Water-quality management But also Climate Change Sea-level rise (one of the main indicators for Climate Change) Heat storage capacity

18 Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service

19 The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) Forecasts and informs on impacts Air quality Climate forcing Detects emissions and estimate surface fluxes Quantifies transport, removal and transformations of atmospheric constituents Ozone layer Radiation CAMS in three figures 280 million observations processed every 12 hours Data from 70 satellite instruments are received and used delivers everyday 14,000 maps online Emissions pace 20

20 Examples: Fires Air Quality Solar Industry CAMS estimates the emissions from biomass burning daily and globally. A striking figure on the importance of such information for climate: 2015 emissions of CO 2 from fires in Indonisia were higher than (estimated) total annual industrial emissions from Japan or Germany. CAMS air quality forecasts provide quantitative information on episodes daily and up to 4 days in advance. They support a wide range of applications (apps, press, city-scale downscaling, emissions reduction scenarios ). Longrange transported plumes (volcanoes, desert dust, fires...) are captured by CAMS and can inform national and local authorities. CAMS information on airborne particles, which affect the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface, is useful to assess the productivity of solar power plants. CAMS has for instance supported GeoModel Solar, a company specialising in site qualification, planning, financing and operation of solar energy systems. pace 21

21 Copernicus Climate Change Service

22 Copernicus Climate Change (C3) service Objectives to be an authoritative source of climate information for Europe How is the climate changing? Observations & Re-analysis What are the societal impacts? Climate indicators & Sectoral information What is the rate of change? Forecasts & Projections Space 23

23 The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) C3S: Monitors and analyses the Earth System to build a global picture and provide the data, tools and products needed by policy makers, societal and economic sectors to mitigate and adapt to a changing climate. The climate is changing and with it an increase in extreme weather events such as flooding, heat wave and drought. The data captured, analysed and tailored by C3S helps sectors affected to identify the risks, to adapt and identify business opportunities. C3S data provide the evidence. Released online, the C3S maps show the trends clearly and provide key indicators of climate change. Space 24

24 Copernicus Emergency Management Service Mapping Component Early Warning Component Space

25 The Emergency Management Service EMS service covers the 3 phases of emergencies: preparedness, emergency and recovery Space 27

26 Emergency Management service Flood and forest fire risk forecasts Providing support to emergency response services Situation maps, reference information Space

27 Mapping service Earthquake Aug 2016, Italy Tropical Cyclone, Vanuatu Ebola epidemic, Guinea Refugee Camp, Al Mafraq Jordan Floods, Ostlandet Norway Space

28 Early Warning: European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) The 2016 fire campaign still ongoing in Europe EFFIS reports slightly above average number of fires and burned areas in the EU (status until 12/8 in red) Number of Fires Burnt Areas Early Warning: European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) 71 EFAS notifications have been sent during Jun Aug 2016 to the partners warning about potential floods Space
