Tailored downstream applications/products–from Copernicus to coastal and inland water monitoring

  • Duration: 2022 - 2025
  • Status: Completed

EU’s directives, such as the Water Framework Directive (WFD) set requirements for the participating countries to monitor coastal and lakes areas with high frequency and coverage. The overarching objective of the action is to promote the use of Copernicus data for advancing the monitoring of coastal and inland waters.

The action will focus on utilizing high- and medium-resolution multi-sensor data (Sentinel-2A and -2B MSI, Sentinel-3A and -3B OLCI, and Landsat-8 & Landsat-9 OLI).

Project is done together with Estonian partner Tartu Observatory/University of Tartu (TO) .

The following datasets were developed or further developed at Syke:

  • Turbidity 20m resolution (Sentinel-2)​
  • Flood area estimation for river and lake flooding, NDWI (Sentinel-2)​
  • High-resolution water temperature (Landsat-8&9)​
  • Temporal aggregates of medium-resolution water surface temperature (Sentinel-3)​
  • Temporal aggregates of high-resolution water surface temperature (Landsat-8&9)​

The FPCUP portfolio Syke TO has been compiled from datasets produced during the project. The portfolio includes additional information on datasets from both Syke and TO.
