Euro-Mediterranean Information System on know-how in the Water sector

SMART-1 views Middle East and Mediterranean

2006-10-13T00:00:00Z

Now more than 100 000 kilometres away from Earth, ESA (European Space Agency)'s Moon-bound spacecraft SMART-1 looked back at Earth and returned this planetary perspective of the Middle East and Mediterranean Sea. 'Smart' usage of the solar-electric propulsion system (the ion engine) has saved a lot of fuel and the spacecraft will get to the Moon earlier than expected. Almost 20 kilograms of the xenon fuel could be saved out of the original 84 kilograms, which could then be used to get closer to the Moon than planned, to within distances of between 300 and 3000 kilometres. This will give a coverage of the lunar surface at higher resolution and sensitivity.

The images you are about to discover are more than mere satellite photos. They have been significantly enhanced by the most recent image processing
techniques, particularly, state-of-the art algorithms to eliminate atmospheric distortions. This virtual trip will reveal, at a resolution of 250 meters, the beauties of
our blue planet and hopefully convince you why it deserves our greatest care.

Remote sensing for water resources

Peng Gong & Jing M. Chen — 2007-02-11T00:00:00Z

The availability and quality of water in a region directly affects its level of economic development. This is particularly true in arid and semiarid regions of the world. In many parts of the world, hydrological gauge stations are few and water inventory is incomplete. Poor knowledge of spatio-temporal distribution of surface water makes it difficult for water resource managers and policy makers to develop adequate water management plans and to establish wise water-use policies. Quantifying and modeling water cycling at various spatial scales have been important and active research fields for the past 50 years. Remote sensing can play a significant role in determining evaporation and transpiration and surface water production capacity of various surface cover types, and in estimating the spatial distribution of water balance and scaling up site specific measurements of water quantity and quality to regional and global scales.

MODIS Rapid Response system

2007-04-10T00:00:00Z

The MODIS Rapid Response system has been developed to provide rapid access to MODIS data globally, with initial emphasis on 250m color composite imagery and active fire data. The MODIS Rapid Response imagery augment the MODIS Standard Land Products, which can be obtained from the LP DAAC. Availabilty of MODIS Standard Land Products will lag behind current satellite acquisition by a few days but all the data used to create images in the Rapid Response System are available from the GSFC DAAC (Level 1B data) or the LP DAAC (Thermal Anomalies - MOD14/MYD14).

Application of Satellite Remote Sensing to Support Water Resources Management in Africa: Results from the Tiger Initiative

2010-07-21T00:00:00Z

IHP-VII – Technical Documents in Hydrology, No. 85

The European Space Agency (ESA) in the context of the Committee of Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) started the TIGER initiative as a concrete action following the resolutions of the World Submit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg. The initiative aims at assisting African countries to overcome problems faced in the collection, analysis and dissemination of water related geo-information by exploiting the advantages of Earth Observation (EO) technology.

In the last few years, under the leadership of the African Ministerial Council on Water (AMCOW), TIGER has evolved with main contributions by ESA, UNESCO and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and with collaboration of other partners such as the Economic Commission for Africa (UN-ECA), the African Development Bank (AfDB) and other African and International organizations.

UNESCO through its International Hydrological Programme (IHP), agreed to publish the results provided by several different groups involved in the TIGER research and pre-operational projects in the series IHP Technical Documents in Hydrology. It hoped that this publication will stimulate researchers worldwide to perform additional in-depth work and analysis on the exploitation of space borne remote sensing technology for water resources in Africa.
