1. Copernicus services and User Forum Finnish GMES User Forum Helsinki 9.1.2013 Mikko Strahlendorff

2. USERS Policy Makers Private, Commercial & & What is their need? Overall view Public Examples ofServices Provided Farming Arctic change Oil Spill Tracking Air Quality Flood Surveillance InformationServices Land Marine Atmosphere Emergency Security Climate In Situ Infrastructure Sustainable observation Space Infrastructure & OBSERVATION

3. Services as main goal • Core services – EU/public supported • Provide standardized common (multi-purpose) information for Europe; using economies of scale • Requested by the EU: link with European information needs • ‘public good’ data policy: open access and free licensing • Downstream services - Commercial/national • Tailored for specific applications at local, regional, national levels (public good or private use) • EU encourages and supports the implementation of these service layer (R&D)

4. Monitoring of Earth systems Land GMES Services Marine Atmosphere Horizontal applications Security Emergency Climate Change

5. Observational infrastructures • In-situ observation infrastructure: air-, sea- and ground-based systems and instruments • (e.g. airborne, balloons, floats, ship-borne, measuring stations, seismographs, etc) • Space infrastructure component for GMES: different missions co-ordinated at European level • Dedicated GMES missions: ESA Sentinels • Contributing missions: EU National, EUMETSAT and third parties

6. GMES Space component • Sentinel 1 – SAR imaging • All weather, day/night applications, interferometry; for vessel detection, oil spills etc. • First launch 2013 • Sentinel 2 – Multispectral imaging • for land applications, e.g. urban, forest, agriculture, etc. • First launch 2013 • Sentinel 3 – Ocean & Land monitoring • Wide-swath ocean color, vegetation, sea/land surface temperature, ocean altimetry • First launch 2013 • Sentinel 4 – Geostationary atmospheric • Atmospheric composition monitoring, transboundary pollution • First launch 2017 on EUMETSAT MTG-S • Sentinel 5 – Low-orbit atmospheric • Atmospheric composition monitoring • Precursor launch 2013, S5 first 2020 on EUM Post-EPS • JasonCS – Ocean reference altimetry

7. User Forum and requirements • GMES should be user driven • How is this working now? User Forum fills the flaw? • EC runs thematic workshops for each domain • User Forum has 2-3 domains on 1 meetings agenda

8. Emergency management GIO-EMS in rush mode • 21 activations in the period April 1, 2012 – now; • 60% of activations, 78% of map products in Europe; • In Europe: 7 forest fires, 2 earthquakes, 3 “other” events; • Activations by AU in HU, IT (2), BG (2), ES (3), SE, PT, RO, DE, FR; • Outside Europe: primarily floods, triggered by European AU and ASCU, and WFP, 3 in coordination with Int. Charter “Space and Major Disasters”; • Close to expected trend for first 8 months.

9. EMS Performance parameters • Target for End Users: • Reference map 6 hours • Delineation and Grading 24 hours after activation request. • Average timing achieved for products needing new satellite acquisition: • 3 hours for activation start up • 34 hours for satellite tasking and acquisition • 8 hours for satellite reception and validation • 17 hours for delivery of first post-event product • Average delivery time after activation request: 2.5 days; • Only few cases meet the End User target, typically when satellite imagery is in archive, or planned for monitoring extensions. • Major bottleneck is still the satellite latency

10. Land service • GMES land monitoring service: Pan-European Component • - Providing land cover and land cover change information at Pan European scale (CORINE) • - Production of 5 thematic high resolution layers • Dissemination + archiving + cataloguing • Follow up of FP 7 GEOLAND – Euroland • Sub-Delegated tasks to the EEA • GMES WP 2011 – 2012 – 2013 / Budget 22 Mi Euro H.
