Multi-sensor synergies for improved weather-climate-environmental products and applications, to advance European services supporting green transition

Project description

Creating multi-sensor synergies for better weather, climate and environmental monitoring

Several sophisticated Earth observation satellite constellations provide extensive data for weather, climate and environmental monitoring in the EU. By enabling multi-sensor data integration from these different sources, the information provided could be leveraged with greater efficiency and reliability. To this end, the EU-funded PANORAMA project aims to develop multi-sensor synergies for advanced products and applications for use on atmospheric composition and numerical weather prediction data. It will test the products and applications in six pilot demonstrators and evaluate their performance on the modelling and prediction of extreme weather, floods, energy and air pollution. It will then introduce three pre-operational integrated applications across the Copernicus data and information access services to demonstrate their usefulness in climate-weather and environmental monitoring.

Objective

PANORAMA will significantly enhance the quality and accuracy of EO products for supporting data-driven decision making in 3 priority areas of GEO (climate action, disaster risk reduction, sustainable development), and 7 policy areas of the European Green Deal (climate, energy, environment and oceans, agriculture, transport, research and innovation, the new European Bauhaus). The next generation of Copernicus Sentinels and EUMETSAT MTG and EPS-SG satellite constellation provides a wide range of observations for advanced monitoring of the atmosphere. PANORAMA aims to multiply the value of this information by realising multi-sensor synergies to achieve advanced products, along with improved applications on atmospheric composition and NWP (e.g. motion-estimation of aerosols & clouds, fast radiative transfer calculations, top-down emission estimations through ML/AI, data assimilation, and new physical parameterisations). The products and applications will be tested and fine-tuned in 6 pilot demonstrators to assess the impact of the new EO data on the representation and prediction of extreme weather, floods, energy, and air pollution. In its final phase, PANORAMA will materialise 3 pre-operational integrated applications over the Copernicus DIAS, to demonstrate the use of the project’s results in seamless climate-weather and environmental European services, but also to make available the tools to other users and stakeholders (e.g. integrated applications on fire-smoke and volcanic ash dispersion for CAMS and EMS, and solar energy nowcasting for the NextSense EuroGEO service). Contributions to the C3S/CMEMS Copernicus services and the Destination Earth are also foreseen. The dissemination, communication, and exploitation plan will accelerate the adoption of the project’s results by the wider community and the commercial sector to ensure impact maximisation.
