The Challenge
The Ideal Solution
AEODP is an integration of different modern technologies and all available open satellite data "all-in-one place" through Satellite Imaging and Observation, Internet of Things, Big Data Analysis, AI, Blockchain Technologies. It can be accessed also as a service by everywhere, anytime, all the time with maximum security and ease of use.
More specifically, it collects data from:
Advantages of
AEODP follows the principles of Google's strength:
The AEODP platform provides its users with usefull information in Real or Near Real Time. It provides users with usefull insights and information, in the form of layers on a map, by analyzing satellite data. These layers are, among others: Moreover, AEODP suports collection of Satellite data from sensors SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar). This feature provides users with high resolution images even during nighttime or in cloudy areas. Also allows detection of small movements on the ground and effective land and water monitoring.
Landslides are defined as mass movements of soil and rocks along a slope under the influence of gravity. Use: Decision-makers take into consideration data for land use planning and landslide mitigation purpose, and grid installations, in order to prevent damages.
Land surface temperature is the radiative skin temperature of the land derived from solar radiation. Use: Monitoring vegetation water stress and condition suitability for insect–vector disease proliferation, assessing surface energy balance, and, detecting land surface disturbance and monitoring.
Snow cover, also called snowpack, is the amount of land covered by snow at any given time. Snow cover is an indicator of climate change. Use: Snow cover keeps the soil moist, so if the snow melts away earlier in the spring, the soil may dry out sooner, which can stress plants and increase the risk of wildfire.
Albedo is the portion of energy from the Sun that is reflected by the earth's surface, thus being an important variable that controls climate and energy processes on Earth. Use: Different values of Surface albedo in different land-use and cover types.
Fire risk prediction is significant for fire prevention and fire resource allocation. Use: Fire risk maps are effective methods for quantifying regional fire risk Information about areas which are vulnerable to wildfires.
An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Use: Real-time notifications and reports of earthquakes worldwide for disaster management.
The Soil Water Index quantifies the moisture condition at various depths in the soil. Satellite measurements integrate over relative large-scale areas, with the presence of vegetation adding complexity to the interpretation. Use: Landslide prediction in snowy regions and agriculture applications.
The NDVI is a simple graphical indicator assessing whether or not the target being observed contains live green vegetation. Use In agriculture, for precision farming and measuring biomass. In forestry, quantifying forest supply and leaf area index.
The Leaf Area Index is thus an important indicator of radiation and precipitation interception, energy conversion, and water balance. Use: For describing plant canopy structure and for research in sections of forests, crops, climate and the environment.
Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform supports the services in charge of the protection of forests against fires globally with reliable information on wildland fires. Active fire may be from fire, hot smoke, agriculture or other sources. Cloud cover may obscure active fire detections. Use: Fire Risk Assessment, Civil protection.
Chlorophyll is an indicator for the abundance of photosynthetic plankton, the primary producers of the ocean. Use: Research and monitoring activities have a key role to play in understanding of phytoplankton and their essential role for marine ecosystems. A healthy ocean is a key to the sustainable development of the blue economy.
Nitrate is considered to be the limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth in much of the ocean. Use: can contribute to the estimation of new production in the global ocean, improving management of various world fisheries and improving estimation of the atmospheric draw down of carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas.
