  2. Overview • The European Space Agency • The Data User Element (DUE) • Outlook

  3. The European Space Agency ESA has 18 member states: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Czech Republic. (Canada takes part in some projects under a cooperation agreement) 08/2005 - 2

  4. The European Space Agency 30+ years experience 5 centres ~2000 staff members ~4+ billion Euro/year budget 70+ satellites developed 20+ satellites in operation • Human space flight and exploration • Microgravity research • Earth Observation • Continuous data acquisition • Long term archive • Multi-scale capabilities • Multi-sensor information • Data Exploitation • Telecommunications • Satellite navigation • Launcher development 08/2005 - 4

  5. Europe’s expanding EO capacity 2002 1995 1991 ENVISAT ERS 1 ERS 2 Oceans Sea Ice Cryosphere Land Surface Climatology + Ocean colour + Atmospheric chemistry + Global Ozone + Terrestrial biosphere

  6. MERIS high resolution • 2004 high resolution image (300m) • Phytoplankton bloom • Contrails/cirrus • This type of data available on the rolling archive - http://oa-es.eo.esa.int • Download images from http://miravi.esa.int

  7. Sea Ice SAR measurements (ERS1/2, Envisat)

  8. Operational Series (with EUMETSAT/EC) SMOS Meteosat Swarm Sentinel 1 Sentinel 2 CryoSat-2 MetOp GOCE Sentinel 4 Sentinel 5 EarthCARE Sentinel 3 ADM-Aeolus ENVISAT ERS-1 ERS-2 ESA’s EO programme securing 40 years comprehensive long-term observations from space Scientific Missions

  9. Data User Element Programme (DUE) • A voluntary programme requested by member states to develop operational EO application • Initially (1996) as DUP, and from 2003 as the DUE (now supported by all 18 member states and Canada) • Three clear objectives: • to create an environment allowing for the development of user communities for both institutional and commercial applications; • to support European companies to develop and demonstrate information products; • to support industry, i.e. value adding and servicing companies, in establishing useful and cost effective services (Note, DUE is not a programme providing operational products/services, but rather demonstrations of products/services)

  10. DUE User Driven Approach User Groups: National & sub-national public authorities, European institutions, International organizations, NGOs User requirements consolidation Ground truthing In-situ data access Products validation Service assessment Service Development Service Demonstration EO data Products

  11. Map in construction Urban Heat Island, June 2007, NOA, Athens, 50 participants GlobWave, September 2007 , Ifremer, Brest,, 150 participants Support to Aviation for Volcanic Ash Avoidance, November 2007, MeteoFrance, Toulouse, 30 participants GlobSnow, February 2008, University of Bern, 30 participants. Permafrost, February 2008, Alfred Wegener Institute, Potsdam, 40 participants GlobAlbedo, September 2008, ESRIN, Frascati, 20 participants PostKyoto, December 2008, Poznan, 10 side events GlobVapour, January 2009, DWD, Offenbach, 20 participants GlobWetland II, March 2009, “La Tour du Valat”, Arles, 50 participants CoastColour, March 2009 National Maritime Center, Cork, 50 participants GlobCloud, March 2009, FUB, Berlin, 80 participants DUE Topical User Consultations in 2008/ 2009

  12. DUE User Commitments • To initiate a project, ESA requests to participating user organizations: • a Letter of Commitment • a User Requirements Document (URD) • Letter of Commitment • I will commit X men/month of work to: • Coordinate the work of local agencies; • Consolidate the User Requirements; • Provide access to data and information useful for the project; • Organize dedicated ground data collection campaigns for the project; • Support the validation of the results; • Assess the final service from a user perspective; • User Requirement Document • The Service required include the provision of the following geo-information products: • XXX • XXX • The area of interest is the following: …. • The timeframe of interest in the following …. • The format of the products should be the following: …. • The National User Network is made of… The User The User

  13. 300+ user organizations in DUE • ~170 national ministries and agencies • ~100 research institutions • ~few private companies and non-governmental organisations • ~70 new users brought in 2008 and another 70 in 2009 • and users are from all continents

  14. DUE user project example: medspiration • Driven by tourism • OSI SAF was sub-contractor • http://www.medspiration.org/

  15. Global projects… from 2001 to 2012

  16. Innovators II – Ballast Water • Feasibility study for BSH addressing the IMO convention directly in the North Sea • Combined information from models and previous DUE activities • To be presented in detail in the next talk • ESA is interested in supporting improvements and extension of this activity – hence the WS Web story http://www.esa.int/esaEO/SEM9OHSRJHG_index_0.html
