Workshop and training event on the use of Copernicus data-based solutions for enhancing environmental monitoring possibilities
On 22 February 2024 a practical training course in Tartu Observatory, Tõravere is held. The main focus of the course will be on the use of Copernicus data for water monitoring.
Main objective is to give theoretical background and practical skills to derive chlorophyll-a and water transparency from Copernicus data to support the monitoring requirements from EU directives.
After the end of the course, the person:
- understands the differences between remote sensing and contact measurements, is able to combine them and to use them for time and space analyses;
- understands and can use different data sets to analyse and compare data in different ways (point measurements, areal averages);
- is able to use the ESTHub platform - to query and process data as required;
- is able to use SNAP software for displaying and processing satellite data;
- has an overview of HELCOM needs and the requirements of the EU WFD and MSFD for the ecological assessment of inland and coastal waters and can use satellite data to support chlorophyll-a and transparency assessment.
