on specific hot spot areas around the world, mainly<br />

targeted to support biodiversity preservation.<br />

forest management, water management, agriculture<br />

and food security and emergency management,<br />

amongst others.<br />

Service priorities and their relevance to users are<br />

defined and validated by the EC and the Member<br />

States.<br />

The service became operational in 2012.<br />

The Pan-European component is managed by the<br />

What does the Land Monitoring Service do?<br />

The three main components of the Copernicus Land<br />

Monitoring Service are currently:<br />

A Global component;<br />

A Pan-European component;<br />

EEA and is producing high resolution information<br />

sets describing the main land cover types: artificial<br />

surfaces (e.g. roads and paved areas), forest areas,<br />

agricultural areas (grasslands), wetlands and small<br />

water bodies.<br />

A Local component.<br />

The Global component of the Copernicus Land<br />

Monitoring Service is managed by the European<br />

Commission’s Directorate Joint Research Centre. It<br />

produces biophysical parameters that give a picture<br />

of the state of vegetation (e.g. leaf area index, fraction<br />

of green vegetation cover, vegetation condition index),<br />

Space<br />

The Urban Atlas, one of the local components,<br />

focuses on the mapping and change analysis<br />

of urban areas. It provides reliable, intercountry<br />

comparable, high resolution land<br />

use maps for 695 European cities and their<br />

surroundings for the reference years 2006<br />

and 2012 which allow land use comparisons<br />

across cities and over time.<br />

The Urban Atlas is used to detect building<br />

footprints, land use changes, urban sprawl<br />

and urban green area decline and high urban<br />

densities. The information is used to prioritise<br />

public transport, support emergency planning<br />

or promote sustainable urban development<br />

in general in a pan-European comparable<br />

mode.<br />

Atmosphere Monitoring Service<br />

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service is part of the Copernicus Programme, which is an<br />

EU Programme managed by the European Commission (EC) and implemented in partnership with the<br />

Member States, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation<br />

of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Centre for medium-range Weather Forecasts<br />

(ECMWF), EU Agencies and Mercator Océan. The Programme is aimed at developing a set of European<br />

information services based on satellite Earth Observation and in-situ (non-space) data analyses.<br />

What is the Copernicus<br />

Atmosphere Monitoring Service?<br />

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service<br />

provides the capacity to continuously monitor the<br />

composition of the Earth’s atmosphere at global and<br />

regional scales. This service capacity encompasses<br />

the description of the current situation (analysis), the<br />

prediction of the situation a few days ahead (forecast),<br />

and the provision of consistent retrospective data<br />

records for recent years (re-analysis). The service<br />

generates geophysical products which require further<br />

technical processing and various forms of high level<br />

information to support decision makers.<br />

The main areas that the Copernicus Atmosphere<br />

Monitoring Service focuses on are:<br />

Air quality and atmospheric composition;<br />

Ozone layer and ultra-violet radiation;<br />

Emissions and surface fluxes;<br />

Solar radiation;<br />

Climate forcing.<br />

Space<br />

In November 2014, the European Commission<br />

signed a Delegation Agreement with ECMWF for the<br />

implementation of the service. The service will be fully<br />

operational from July 2015.<br />

What does<br />

the Atmosphere Monitoring Service do?<br />

Typical products provided by the service are:<br />

• Maps and data for regional air quality forecasts;<br />

• Retrospective assessments of air quality;<br />

• Identification of pollutants and their source;<br />

• Pollen concentration levels in the atmosphere;<br />

• Resources for evaluating possible emission control<br />

measures;<br />

• Inputs to local air quality forecasts, health information<br />

and warnings.<br />

Some examples:<br />

Air Quality<br />

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring<br />

Service provides continuous observation of<br />

the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere<br />

and helps predict air quality. Atmospheric<br />

composition helps to understand phenomena<br />

such as desert dust plumes, long-range<br />

transport of atmospheric pollutants including<br />

pollen as well as ash plumes from volcanic<br />

eruptions. This information can be relevant<br />

for different domains such as public health<br />

or even safety of air traffic.<br />

Each day, the Copernicus Atmosphere<br />

Monitoring Service provides analyses and<br />

forecasts detailing constituents in the Earth’s<br />

atmosphere at various heights above sea<br />

level for the next 96 hours.<br />

Solar Radiation<br />

The Service also monitors levels of UV<br />

radiation and provides 4-day forecasts<br />

on a European and global scale, which<br />

helps optimise the use of solar energy and<br />

supports the prevention of skin cancer.<br />

What is the added value of<br />

the Copernicus<br />

Atmosphere Monitoring Service?<br />

• The service delivers information on the air<br />

we breathe;<br />

• The recording and analysis of solar<br />

radiation provides information to public and<br />

private organisations in fields such as health,<br />

agriculture and solar energy;<br />

• The service compiles emission data and<br />

also estimates net fluxes of CO 2<br />

and CH 4<br />

at the Earth’s surface. This helps improve<br />

understanding of key climate forcings;<br />

• Freely available high quality data opens new<br />

possibilities in monitoring the composition<br />

of the atmosphere and enables the creation<br />

of new business ideas supporting public<br />

and private stakeholders in a wide area of<br />

applications linked to atmospheric science.<br />

Emergency Management Service<br />

The Copernicus Emergency Management Service is part of the Copernicus Programme, which is an<br />

EU Programme managed by the European Commission (EC) and implemented in partnership with the<br />

Member States, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation<br />

of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Centre for medium-range Weather Forecasts<br />

(ECMWF), EU Agencies and Mercator Océan. The Programme is aimed at developing a set of European<br />

information services based on satellite Earth Observation and in-situ (non-space) data analyses.<br />

What is the Emergency Management Service?<br />

EMS Mapping Service<br />

The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS), The EMS Mapping Service provides<br />

managed directly by the European Commission via reliable maps derived from satellite<br />

the Joint Research Centre, has two main components, images to assess the impact and<br />

Early Warning and Mapping. EMS provides reliable respond to natural and man-made<br />

maps derived from satellite images to assess the disasters. The mapping service<br />

impact of natural and man-made disasters all over the operates in two modes – rapid<br />

world. The Service also supports crisis managers, civil mode for emergencies that require<br />

protection authorities and humanitarian aid actors, as an immediate response, and risk<br />

well as those involved in preparedness and recovery & recovery mode for emergency services that do<br />

activities. As an EU service, the EMS’s first priority is not require immediate action such as prevention and<br />

responding to EU needs and interests, whether within disaster risk analysis and recovery activities.<br />

the EU or abroad. The Emergency Management Service The service can be activated for natural or man-made<br />

The Early Warning component of the EMS currently accidents and windstorms. In rapid mapping mode,<br />

provides alerts related to flood and forest fire risks. The maps are delivered as fast as possible, typically within<br />

European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) provides a few hours or days, after the reception of satellite<br />

The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) In Rapid Mapping Mode, the main products of the<br />

provides fire danger forecasts up to 10 days in advance EMS Mapping Service are:<br />

and near real-time and historical information on forest Reference maps, which provide an overview of the<br />

fires and their ecological impacts in the European, geographic area prior to the disaster;<br />

Middle East and North Africa region are provided by the Delineation maps, which provide an assessment of<br />

European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS). the event’s extent, such as burnt area after a forest<br />

fire or flooded area;<br />

Grading maps, which provide an assessment<br />

of the impact, e.g. showing the number<br />

of totally destroyed, severely or slightly<br />

damaged buildings.<br />

Who can use the EMS Mapping Service?<br />

There are three levels of users:<br />

• Authorised Users – may activate the service<br />

directly. Authorised Users are the designated<br />

National Focal Points (NFPs), one in each EU<br />

Member State, as well as EC services and<br />

the European External Action Service;<br />

• Associated Users – these users may<br />

trigger the service through Authorised<br />

Users. They include local, regional and other<br />

public entities, international governmental<br />

organisations (e.g. UN agencies, the World<br />

Bank) and national and international nongovernmental<br />

organisations;<br />

• General Public Users – these users may not<br />

trigger the service, but can access the service<br />

products though the Copernicus Emergency<br />

website.<br />

The Copernicus data policy promotes the<br />

access, use and sharing of Copernicus<br />

information and data on a full, free and<br />

open basis.<br />

How can the EMS Mapping Service<br />

be accessed?<br />

Copernicus EMS Mapping Authorised Users<br />

may activate the service by completing<br />

the relevant Service Request Form (SRF).<br />

Associated Users have to contact their<br />

respective Focal Points who are authorised<br />

to trigger the service. There are two types<br />

of Service Request Forms: (I.) for Rapid<br />

Mapping; (II.) for Risk & Recovery Mapping.<br />

The completed form must be sent by<br />

e-mail to DG ECHO’s Emergency Response<br />

Coordination Centre (ERCC) and followed up<br />

by a phone call. Once the service request is<br />

properly submitted, it undergoes a review<br />

by the ERCC against predefined eligibility<br />

criteria (technical feasibility, sensitivity,<br />

mapping capacity, event’s magnitude). From<br />

April 2012 to April 2015, there have been a<br />

total of 123 activations of the Copernicus<br />

EMS, producing circa 1350 maps for disaster<br />

events all over the world. These have been<br />

triggered in response to flood emergencies<br />

in Europe (Germany, Spain and the UK)<br />

and Africa (Mozambique) as well as fires,<br />

earthquakes (Nepal), tsunamis and also<br />

as a result of humanitarian crises in the<br />

Central African Republic, Syria/Jordan and<br />

Bangladesh.<br />

What is the Added Value of the EMS?<br />

• Operational service 24/7 all year round;<br />

• The only existing emergency response<br />

service, which supplies standard information<br />

products derived from satellite data in<br />

rapid mode to first disaster responders and<br />

humanitarian actors worldwide;<br />

• The Risk & Recovery Mapping module<br />

delivers information and analysis in support<br />

of activities for disaster risk reduction,<br />

prevention, preparedness, recovery, and<br />

reconstruction.<br />

An earthquake with a magnitude 5.8 killed at least 16 people in northern Italy on 29/05/2012,<br />

damaging buildings and leaving 14,000 people homeless in the Emilia Romagna region north<br />

of Bologna, one of Italy most agriculturally and industrially productive areas. The epicentre of<br />

the earthquake, which struck at depth of 9.6 km (6 miles), was less than 30 km (19 miles)<br />

from Modena, not far from where the magnitude 6 earthquake struck on 20th May (Source:<br />

The core users of the map are Civil Protection authorities involved in operations in the field.<br />

The aim of the map production is to support the emergency response activities.<br />

The present map shows a delineation of the affected buildings in the area of San Felice sul<br />

Panaro, ITALY, based on visual interpretation of post-event satellite imagery acquired on<br />

30/05/2012 (WorldView-02, spatial resolution 0.5 m).<br />

Post-event satellite images have been orthorectified using RPC model and SRTM elevation<br />

data.<br />

The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is 5 m CE90 or better, from native<br />

positional accuracy of the background orthoimage.<br />

The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is 60% or better, as it is based on visual<br />

interpretation of recognizable items on very high resolution satellite imagery. Please note that<br />

due to the high off nadir angle, presence of haze and 0.5m resolution only damages to large<br />

structures could be detected.<br />

Security Service<br />

The Copernicus Security Service is part of the Copernicus Programme, which is an EU Programme<br />

managed by the European Commission (EC) and implemented in partnership with the Member States,<br />

the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological<br />

Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Centre for medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), EU<br />

Agencies and Mercator Océan. The Programme is aimed at developing a set of European information<br />

act as a deterrent to illegal actions and can<br />

contribute to reducing the economic toll of<br />

illegal activities and related accidents at sea,<br />

while improving the planning of conventional<br />

patrolling operations.<br />

Several R&D and demonstration projects<br />

paved the way for the definition of<br />

Copernicus services in Maritime surveillance.<br />

These include FP7 funded activities such<br />

as the DOLPHIN, NEREIDS and SIMTISYS<br />

projects, or the MARISS project funded by<br />

ESA, which have contributed to engage the<br />

maritime community in the usage of spacederived<br />

data and related services.<br />

The European Maritime Safety Agency<br />

(EMSA) currently provides operational<br />

maritime safety services and Copernicus<br />

related services will have been operated by<br />

the Agency fom as a natural extension of<br />

their current capacities.<br />

Border Surveillance<br />

The objective of this Service is to support<br />

the European Union’s external border<br />

surveillance system (EUROSUR), an initiative<br />

based on an EU-level approach to reinforcing<br />

Member States’ control across the Schengen<br />

border. The objective is to help reduce<br />

the number of incidents related to illegal<br />

immigration (e.g. death at sea) by improving<br />

the intelligence available to coast and border<br />

guards as well as port authorities and law<br />

enforcement agencies, also with the use of<br />

satellite imagery.<br />

Copernicus is working with FRONTEX to<br />

reinforce its intelligence capacities based<br />

also on spaceborne observations.<br />

Border Surveillance services entered a preoperational<br />

phase in 2013 with the launch<br />

of two FP7 projects: SAGRES, which focused<br />

on the validation of the highly time-critical<br />

EUROSUR components (vessel detection),<br />

and LOBOS, which addressed the validation<br />

of less time-critical components (monitoring<br />

of ports, coasts and pre-frontier land areas).<br />

Lessons learned from these projects drove<br />

the definition of the operational services<br />

through a Joint Operations concept, which<br />

will involve close cooperation with Member<br />

States’ National Coordination Centres but<br />

also with EMSA (maritime surveillance) and<br />

EUSC (land borders monitoring).<br />

The system will be operated under the<br />

aegis of Frontex as from mid-2015 and will<br />

allow the seamless integration of satellite<br />

observations into operational systems<br />

run by FRONTEX and available to national<br />

authorities through the EUROSUR network.<br />

The service is based on four pillars:<br />

What is the Copernicus<br />

Climate Change Service?<br />

The Copernicus Climate Change Service is designed to<br />

respond to changes in the environment and society<br />

associated with climate change.<br />

The service will provide information for monitoring<br />

and predicting climate change and help to support<br />

adaptation and mitigation strategies. It will provide<br />

access to several climate indicators (e.g. temperature<br />

increase, sea level rise, ice sheet melting, ocean<br />

warming) and climate indices (e.g. based on records<br />

of temperature, precipitation, drought events) for both<br />

the identified climate drivers and the expected climate<br />

impacts.<br />

The Copernicus Climate Change Service will enter<br />

a pre-operational stage by the end of 2017. The<br />

operational phase will start before the end of 2018.<br />

This pre-operational phase is also supported by<br />

What does the Climate Change Service do?<br />

The Copernicus Climate Change Service will contribute<br />

to the provision of Essential Climate Variables,<br />

climate re-analyses, multi-model seasonal forecasts<br />

and climate projections at temporal and spatial<br />

scales relevant to<br />

European Union sectoral<br />

policies. It will deliver<br />

climate data records to<br />

monitor major climate<br />

drivers (e.g. greenhouse<br />

gases) and to document<br />

climate fingerprints (e.g.<br />

surface temperature and<br />

precipitation).<br />

• A climate data store that contains the<br />

geophysical information needed for<br />

analysing the climate change indicators in a<br />

consistent and harmonized manner;<br />

• A sectoral information system providing<br />

information tailored to the needs of the end<br />

users and in particular those linked with<br />

existing EU legislation;<br />

• An evaluation and quality control of the<br />

information set up in order to guarantee the<br />

reliability of the service and the quality of<br />

the delivered information;<br />

• Outreach and dissemination activities<br />

to deliver the information to the general<br />

public and public authorities and fulfil an<br />

educational task.<br />

The Copernicus data policy promotes the<br />

access, use and sharing of Copernicus<br />

information and data on a full, free and<br />

open basis.<br />
