Overall view

Services as main goalCore 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?

• 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

Marine environmental 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 adaptation to,

climate variability & change
