Deliverables completed
Data visualisation portal
/data_vis.png?width=250&height=163)
A data visualisation portal has been developed which offers access to Sentinel 2 and Sentinel 3 data using current algorithms. There are a wide range of indicators available to view for each of the CERTO case study areas.
DIAS comparison
/dias.png?width=250&height=163)
CERTO has undertaken a comparison on the Data and Information Access Services (DIAS) which are cloud-based platforms to facilitate and standarise the access to Copernicus data and information. This information has been summarised on a website and will continue to be updated as the service offerings evolve.
