eStation 2.0 - Analysis online has now compressed vector layers

The online Analysis tool of the eStation 2.0 has now significantly smaller sized vector layer.

The compression has been done by using the Douglas Peucker algorithm.



Loading the vecoro layers in a Mapview is now much faster and uses less bandwidth.

NDVI from S3-OLCI available on eStation/online

Dear eStation Users



Following the end of dissemination of the CGLS PROBAV vegetation indicators and the release of the BRDF corrected SPOTV and PROBAV 3.0 version, the eStation is now able to present a single time-series of NDVI product, composed as:

- NDVI 1km SPOT-VGT and PROBAV 3.0: from May 1998 to June 2020

- OLCI 300m 2.0: from July 2020 to present (re-sampled at 1km)



This version is named on the eStation as 'vgt-pv-olci' and distributed as replacement of the sv2-pv2.2, based on VGT and PROBAV only.

Anomaly indicators are also distributed, but must be use with caution. Indeed, these products are derived from the climatology of OLCI and VGT-PROBAV LTS, so biases may be present over some regions.



The composite is available on the online platform

GMES & Africa Marine Services Design Workshop (October 2018)

The G&A Marine Services Design Workshop (a.k.a. on-the-job training on eStation 2.0) took place at
JRC in Ispra from the 1st to 12th of October 2018, with the participation of experts from CSIR, MOI,
NARSS and UoG.
 
The main goal of the Workshop was to work together with staff from RICs on the practical
implementation of environmental monitoring services, in the framework of GMES&Africa program.
The Workshop was very successful, much appreciated by the participants, and allowed a number of
developments of the eStation to serve the needs of GMES&Africa stakeholders, and the definition
of a precise implementation plan for further actions, including technical visits to the regional
implementation centers in the course of 2019.
