Services as main goal
Core services – EU/public supported
• Provide standardized common (multi-purpose)
information for Europe; using economies of scale
• Requested by the EU: link with European information
needs
• ‘public good’ data policy: open access and free licensing
Downstream services - Commercial/national
• Tailored for specific applications at local, regional,
national levels (public good or private use)
• EU encourages and supports the implementation of
these service layer (R&D)

21 activations in the period April 1, 2012 – now;
60% of activations, 78% of map products in Europe;
In Europe: 7 forest fires, 2 earthquakes, 3 “other” events;
Activations by AU in HU, IT (2), BG (2), ES (3), SE, PT,
RO, DE, FR;
• Outside Europe: primarily floods, triggered by European
AU and ASCU, and WFP, 3 in coordination with Int.

3 hours for activation start up
34 hours for satellite tasking and acquisition
8 hours for satellite reception and validation
17 hours for delivery of first post-event
product
• Average delivery time after activation
request: 2.5 days;
• Only few cases meet the End User target,
typically when satellite imagery is in
archive, or planned for monitoring
extensions.
• Major bottleneck is still the satellite
latency

Land service
Implementation of GIO land services Pan EU Component on track
except for:
•
•
Work going on regarding the participation of Candidate & potential Candidate
Countries.
Minor delay in production of High Resolution Layers, following the necessity of an
additional streamlining phase and the problems with availability of input imagery.
Mitigation measures:
•
•
Major mitigation measures had to be taken in the framework of the ESA GMES DWH
Coordination and flexibility amongst stakeholders is of key importance to keep the
planning

Climate change service
EU Regulation (911/2010) specifies that “access to
information for climate change monitoring in support of
mitigation and adaptation policies” shall be included in
the GMES service component.
A Climate Change service must meet the
Global Climate Observing System goals:
 Monitor the climate system
 Detect and attribute climate change
 Assess impacts of, and support adaptation to,
climate variability & change
Climate change service
consultation process: expert group (2010-2011),
‘Helsinki GMES climate’ conference (Jul 2011),
GMES user forum (Nov 2011).
6th FP7 space call (closed since 21 Nov. 2012)
EC funding: 26 M€
re-analysis (global and EU regional)
quality assurance for ECVs
climate indicator toolbox
Attribution products
