Land Surface Temperature
“Land Surface Temperature (LST) is the radiative skin temperature of the land derived from solar radiation. It is a basic determinant of the terrestrial thermal behaviour, as it controls the effective radiating temperature of the Earth’s surface” [1]. LST is linked to several aspects of the geoscience and in this respect the understanding of its
Mappamondo: Copernicus Natural Color World
Since we started to publish Sentinel-3 Level 2 world maps via our EO browser we took the challenge to process a land worldwide cloud free image of the Earth with an RGB natural colour composition. Indeed with a proper tailoring of our processors in order to handle the instruments radiances and cloud masks, using several months
Oceans Mapping with Sentinel-3
Our third step in the framework of World health monitoring and evaluation of climate changes effects on Earth stands on oceans and seas mapping. Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission, as already described for land products, systematically delivers to the community a large dataset of marine products, namely geophysical data extremely useful for the monitoring purposes we described
World Land Mapping with Sentinel-3
The last week we have advertised our new born project aiming to reach a global land and marine monitoring of the World with Sentinel-3. Indeed this mission offers a large dataset of geophysical data really usefull in the framework of the evaluation of climate change effects on Earth. In order to do that and thus
Level 3 Mosaics over Africa
Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission has been designed and developed mainly to focus on the climate changes effects impacting on our planet and is carrying on board several instruments with medium-low resolution in order to pursuit this goal. From this perspective the main strength of the project is not standing in the capabilities to distinguish small objects
Irma’s Journey
Hurricane Irma was an extremely powerful and catastrophic cyclone, the strongest observed in the Atlantic Ocean since Wilma in 2005 in terms of maximum sustained winds. Irma developed on August 30, 2017 near the Cape Verde Islands, from a tropical wave that had moved off the west African coast three days prior. Under favorable conditions, Irma rapidly intensified
