Overall view

What is their need?

Farming Oil Spill Tracking Air Quality Land Marine Atmosphere Flood Emergency Surveillance Arctic change Examples of Services Provided Information Services Security Climate Sustainable observation Space Infrastructure & In Situ Infrastructure OBSERVATION

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)

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

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

User Forum and requirements

• GMES should be user driven • How is this working now? User Forum fills the flaw?

User Forum Provides requirements to EC Suomen User Forum UK, Ranska ...

GMES service providers Made user requirements themselves from now on EC requirements ESA gathers from services EEA gathers from services Satelite requirements In situ requirements • EC runs thematic workshops for each domain • User Forum has 2-3 domains on 1 meetings agenda

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.

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

Land service

Implementation of GIO land services Pan EU Component on track except for: • • Work going on regarding the participation of Candidate & potential Candidate Countries.

Minor delay in production of High Resolution Layers, following the necessity of an additional streamlining phase and the problems with availability of input imagery.

Mitigation measures: • • Major mitigation measures had to be taken in the framework of the ESA GMES DWH Coordination and flexibility amongst stakeholders is of key importance to keep the planning H. Dufourmont, EEA

Climate change service

EU Regulation (911/2010) specifies that “ access to information for climate change monitoring in support of mitigation and adaptation policies ” shall be included in the GMES service component.

A Climate Change service must meet the Global Climate Observing System goals:

 Monitor the climate system  Detect and attribute climate change  Assess impacts of, and support climate variability & change adaptation to,

Climate change service

 consultation process: expert group (2010-2011), ‘ Helsinki GMES climate ’ conference (Jul 2011), GMES user forum (Nov 2011).
