Foster User Uptake of Copernicus Earth Observation Solar Services – Photosynthetically Active Radiation Data for Agriculture, Horticulture, and other Applications

Implementing Partner: CNES
Implementing Country: France Primary Topic: Land Primary Target Users: Private Sector Primary Target Region: Europe Type of Resource: Publication Language: English

Last Update:



This action aimed at promoting the exploitation of Copernicus solar radiation products and deriving multiple downstream services that cater to the increasing demand for Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) values.

Action’s objectives were to:

  • Strengthen the Existing Business Model
  • Collect New Specifications for Services
  • Explore New Markets
  • Foster Users’ Uptake

To explore this subject further, an article entitled “Smart Approaches for Evaluating Photosynthetically Active Radiation at Various Stations Based on MSG Prime Satellite Imagery”, dealing with the exploitation of CAMS data (among others) in estimating PAR from MSG data, has been published in open access.
