2 Content Role of ESA in Copernicus Overview of the Copernicus Space Component Data Access What is the data offer? Datasets and their composition Users Categories Public Authority qualifications Licence perimeters Steps to data access- Registration, Subscription, download REACT Service Process (Rapid Emergency Activation for Copernicus Tasking) Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 overview Issue/Revision:. Reference: Status:

3 Role of ESA Coordinator of overall Copernicus Space Component (CSC) Definition of overall architecture and plan for future evolutions Coordinating access to Copernicus missions from national, EUMETSAT and third party satellite owners Development and procurement Agency for dedicated space infrastructure Development of first spacecraft and Ground Segment Procurement of recurrent elements Operator of Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3 (land) and Sentinel-5 precursor EUMETSAT is operator of Sentinel-3 (marine), Sentinel-4, Sentinel-5 and Sentinel-6

4 The Copernicus Space Component The Copernicus Space Component (CSC), operated by ESA, relies on a constellation of dedicated missions the Sentinels.plus, based on the Datawarehouse requirements issued by the European Commission (EC), ESA organizes the procurement of Earth Observation data from a series of Contributing Missions (CCMEs)

5 What is the data Offer? The Data Offer for Public Authorities is split into three data categories. More information on the data offer is available in the Data Access Portfolio document, available at CORE Datasets Predefined large repetitive coverages of Europe or Africa in various resolutions either optical or Radar data More data at various resolution are available, both radar and optical, in response to Copernicus Services and Union financed research projects requirements and quota allocation by the European Commission on a yearly basis. Data collections available are described at ADDITIONAL Datasets Single products from various Copernicus Contributing Missions demanded on a yearly basis by Copenricus Services and FP7/H2020 projects Copernicus programme provides users with free, full and open access to Sentinel data. More information is available at us.eu. Access is implemented via ESA scientific data hub ( s.eu). Sentinel Missions Sentinel data systematically generated according to predefined acquisition and production scenarios

6 CSC-DA user-licence Licence conditions depend on data providers data policy (more restrictive than Sentinels) Right to use, copy, publish (with constraints) No re-distribution (only within project) Mission specific Annex: contains amendments to the licence if required by data providers (because of export control rules etc.)

36 Sentinels operations strategy Main objectives of the Sentinels operations strategy: Reliable provision of data to Copernicus users Ensure systematic and routine operational activities Sentinels operations approach: Sentinels are operated via a pre-defined background observation and downlink plan Scenario is updated on a regular basis (e.g. 6 to 12 months) taking into account evolution of user needs All Sentinels acquired data is systematically downlinked and processed to generate a predefined list of core products within specific timeliness Typically within 3 hrs after sensing for Near-Real Time, and within 24hrs after sensing for Non-Time Critical

37 Sentinel data usage rights

38 Sentinel-1 set up for emergency support and future development Johannes Roeder, Lena Stern, Pierre Potin, Betlem Rosich 14/03/2016 Issue/Revision:. Reference: Status:

39 Sentinel-1 Data Provision to Copernicus Emergency Management Service Sentinel-1 responded to a number of activations from the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (as well as from the International Charter Space and Major Disasters): EMSR87 for floods in Bosnia-Herzegovina (May 2014) EMSR100 for floods and landslides in Italy (Sep 2014) EMSR107 for floods in Slovenia (Nov 2014) EMSR108 for floods and landslides in Italy (Nov 2014) EMSR111 related to the volcanic eruption at Fogo Island (Cape Verde) (Nov 2014) EMSR116 for floods in Malawi (Jan 2015) EMSR117 for floods in Greece (Feb 2015) EMSR118 for floods in Spain (Feb 2015) EMSR122 for floods in Greece (Mar 2015) EMSR125 for Earthquake in Nepal EMSR126 for algae bloom in French Guiana (May 2015) EMSR130 for major floods in Myanmar (Aug-Sep 2015) EMSR147 Flood in Cumbria UK (Dec 2015)

40 SENTINEL-1: A tool for flood monitoring Sentinel-1 data have already proven their value for the monitoring of a variety of disaster types. The sensor and mission set up are in particular useful for the monitoring of flood events: Assets of the Sensor: All weather day and night radar observations; independent from cloud cover Unique combination of large swath width (250 km) and high ground sampling density (10 m) 12d revisit (same site, same orbital geometry), 6d revisit for constellation Excellent radiometric stability Assets of the acquisition strategy: Default mode-polarisation setting (IW- SV or IW-DV) over land + high sampling frequency + stable observation scenario Last archive (same observation geometry) over Europe younger than 1 week (S1A+S1B), younger than 2 weeks (S1A only) Asset of data access Not bound to quota, data free of charge No need to re-trigger the emergency process chain in case of subsequent monitoring requests: Data product auto-routing can be set for a longer period already at first notice of an event. Access to fast timeliness processed data (< 1h / <3h) granted to EMS Once set, data routing works fully automated 7d 24h Last archive (same observation geometry) over most other parts of earth younger than a month or less (S1A+S1B) Allows application of easy and quick to use flood detection methods (e.g. change detection based)

41 SENTINEL-1 Constellation: Avg. access time and coverage per 12 days * Coverage: Number of acquisitions per 12 d ** Avg. access time: Depends on orbit geometry. Avg. values given. Can be lower or higher for specific sites

42 SENTINEL-1: FUTURE EVOLUTIONS SENTINEL-1B Launch 22.04` % capacity SENTINEL-1A Launched 03.04`14 Fully operational EDRS-C: Launch: 2017 CORE-GROUND- SEGMENT: 3 X-band stations EDRS-A: Launch: `16 In Commissioning + > 70 % downlink capacity + 15% increased downlink speed CORE-GROUND- SEGMENT: 4th X-band station + 25 % downlink capacity * Percent values w.r.t. to current capacity (act. 3/2016)

43 SENTINEL-1 for Copernicus Emergency Management Service - Outlook Outlook: With the combined capacity of Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B High revisit times / short access times esp. over Europe will be achieved (up to daily) With the future Core-Ground-Segment evolutions, developing EDRS and a 4 th polar-orbiting X-Band station A data delivery to Copernicus Services over Europe + European marginal seas within less then 1 hour is the declared goal With all orbits over Europe scheduled in fast timeliness by default No satellite re-tasking for emergencies in Europe will be needed any longer With an observation scenario based on stable and reliable mode-polarisation combination Excellent and fresh reference archive data will always be available With a free and open data policy No re-trigger of the emergency activation chain is necessary if subsequent monitoring of events is requested. Fast data auto-routing to the emergency user can be set at the time of an event for a longer period

44 The Sentinel-2 Color Vision 13 spectral bands in the Visible (VIS), Near Infrared (NIR), Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) Ground pixel resolution of 10m, 20m, 60m (for atmospheric correction) across a 290 km swath SPOT km Landsat km Sentinel km sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel/missions/sentinel-1/observation-scenario

45 Sentinel-2 Nominal Observation Scenario The Sentinel-2 baseline observation scenario in routine phase will systematically cover all land surfaces between 56 South latitude (Cape Horn in South America) and 84 North latitude (north of Greenland), including also Major islands (greater than 100 km2 size), EU islands and all the other small islands located at less than 20 km from the coastline The whole Mediterranean Sea as well as all inland water bodies and closed seas

46 Sentinel-2 Observation scenario, acquisition plans online Currently observation of average 11.2 min/orbit (i.e. >65% of average observation time in full operations) Systematically Europe & Africa on every orbit The rest of the world within a certain time interval: currently this is 30 days, and will be progressively reduced over the coming months to reach 10 days observation plan is published ahead of every repeat cycle as kml at 2/acquisition-plans

47 Sentinel-2 Observation scenario, acquisition plans online 1. Gradual increase of data acquisition from 11.2 to 15 min/orbit over the next few months 2. Continued ramp-up phase, with gradual increase of acquisition and processing capacity and further improvement of products quality, including start of S2 QWG and S2VT meetings + harmonise L8-S2 (and heritage missions) further 3. Reprocessing campaign conclusion: readiness assumed in Q2/ Operational readiness of S2A is planned for IOCR+9 months, ~ Jul Start of systematic surface reflectance (L2A) processing for S2 5. Moving towards a-la-carte data access later Sentinel-2B ready for launch in Q Commissioning of EDRS-A launch 29 Jan 2016: phase-in of an additional data downlink capacity during Q3/2016!
