MAIN USES OF COPERNICUS SENTINELS

SENTINEL-1 SENTINEL-2 SENTINEL-3 SENTINEL-4 SENTINEL-5 SENTINEL-5P SENTINEL-6

All-weather, day and night

observations to

support services for sea-ice monitoring,

marine environment surveillance, ship

detection, land-surface motion risks, mapping

of forest, water and soils, humanitarian aid

and crisis management

Agriculture/vegetation

monitoring, soil and water cover, forest

management, border and maritime

surveillance, emergency

management: floods, fires

Ocean forecast,

climate change and operational

oceanography: sea surface height, ocean

color, oceanic carbon fluxes, monitoring river

or lakes level

Continuous monitoring

of atmospheric composition focused

on air quality over Europe, with main

products Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide

(NO2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Formaldehyde

(HCHO) and aerosol properties

(P recursor of Sentinel-

5) daily global monitoring of the main atmospheric

pollutants (CH4 and

O2 NO2 CO2 HCHO, SO2) and two major

greenhouse gases(CH4 and tropospheric

O3)

Daily global monitoring

for climate, air quality and ozone/surface UV

applications, with key

parameters O3, NO2, SO2, HCHO,

CHOCHO, Aerosols, CH4 and stratospheric

Ozone

Ocean forecast,

In situ

I N - S I T U : O V E R V I E W

• In situ data = observation data from ground-, sea-, or air-borne sensors, licensed for use in Copernicus

• Used to:

– Validate & calibrate Copernicus products

– Provide reliable information services

• Implementation on two levels:

1. Tailored in situ data for each Copernicus service

2. Cross-cutting coordinationacross services by the EEA
