New data, opportunities, & challenges Sentinel 1 • 83 radar scenes every 6 days Sentinel 2 • 25 optical scenes every 5 days 44TB /year Commercial missions increasing, costs decreasing

Copernicus Sentinel 2 - Unique selling points: • One scene on a clear day can cover a large area of Scotland • Revisit interval of 5 days means higher probability of cloud free coverage Sentinel 2: CIR

Sentinel 2: Shetland

Sentinel 2: North Uist

Intelligent customer function • Increased availability of RS data from Copernicus • Opportunity to use data for more effective, customer focussed delivery • Defra with UK Space Agency SSGP established the Earth Observation Centre of Excellence in September 2015 with DA’s involvement • Scottish Remote Sensing Group set up in 2015 with central, local government and research organisations • EO CoE and SRSG - virtual teams bringing together RS, analytical and programme management expertise

Establishing Applications • Currently working on applications in – Diffuse Pollution – Forestry Monitoring – Peatland Condition – Water Quality Monitoring – Biodiversity/natural capital • Investigating potential in – Plant & Animal Health – Marine – Flood resilience

EO Collaboration Node - JNCC Product example: NDVI Product CAP Forest Nat Water Env quality Living map Crop map NDVI, NDWI Sentinel 2 ARD Sentinel 1 ARD • Pre-processing Sentinel data for analysis ready data • Intermediate product generation service (NDVI, NDWI) • EOCoE collaboration platform

Scottish Remote Sensing Portal JNCC & SG - Encourage greater sharing of public sector RS data through the Scottish RS Portal. Short term: • Provide access to public sector LiDAR datasets Longer term: • Host other RS datasets - details can be found in the Scottish Remote Sensing Index at www.spatialdata.gov.scot • A hub for imagery including analysis ready Sentinel and derived products
