Promising applications of\u00a0Earth observation
\nIt is clear not only from the\u00a0presentations and workshops at the\u00a0seminar that the\u00a0use of\u00a0RS in\u00a0environmental applications already has a\u00a0firm place in\u00a0the\u00a0research sphere and in\u00a0operational practice. In\u00a0the\u00a0Czech Republic, this data is used on a\u00a0daily basis in\u00a0the\u00a0departments of\u00a0transport, security or the\u00a0environment. This includes not only monitoring short-term phenomena (weather, floods, fires, slope deformations and movements or traffic collapses), but also long-term ones (changes in\u00a0forest health, changes in\u00a0land use or volumetric and qualitative changes in\u00a0water bodies or glaciers).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nEach part offered a\u00a0unique perspective and contribution to the\u00a0issue, allowing everyone to find what interests them.<\/p>\n
Second day of\u00a0the\u00a0conference<\/h3>\n
The\u00a0second day of\u00a0the\u00a0conference was designed as an international half-day workshop organized by the\u00a0Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS). A\u00a0total of\u00a082 participants discussed the\u00a0use of\u00a0data for monitoring and forecasting air quality in\u00a0the\u00a0Czech Republic.<\/p>\n
Richard Engelen from the\u00a0European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) presented the\u00a0Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), its architecture and innovations in\u00a0atmospheric data modelling, including improvements to aerosol analysis and reanalyses at the\u00a0global and European levels. A\u00a0new version of\u00a0the\u00a0system was also presented, with improved chemical schemes and tools for data visualization and analysis.<\/p>\n
Cristina Ananasso from ECMWF explained the\u00a0functioning of\u00a0the\u00a0National Cooperation Programme (NCP), which helps Member States implement and adapt CAMS data at the\u00a0national level. Subsequently, Thomas Popp from the\u00a0Deutsches Zentrum f\u00fcr Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) presented the\u00a0results of\u00a0interviews with Czech CAMS users, which showed specific applications for air quality assessment and smog warnings.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0workshop also opened a\u00a0discussion on the\u00a0possibilities for improving the\u00a0modelling of\u00a0atmospheric transport of\u00a0Saharan dust and other challenges associated with air pollution forecasting.<\/p>\n

In November 2024, a conference was held focused on the use of satellite data, organized by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI) and the Ministry of Transport (MoT), under the auspices of the President of the Czech Republic, who delivered the opening speech. In addition to expert workshops and panel discussions, the conference also featured several interesting contributions from the Transport and Environment Ministries, which illustrated the real-world use of remote sensing data in applications focused on ecological burdens and hydrological forecasting, as well as climate change, transport monitoring, and landscape planning. One of the most important conclusions of the conference is the confirmation of the importance of remote sensing data in the daily work of not only state institutions, but also commercial companies. These data give us the spatial context of selected natural phenomena and processes that would be monitored only partially or not at all without these data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":34424,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,88],"tags":[321,3715,3719,3700,3720,2686],"coauthors":[3183,3696,3697],"class_list":["post-34631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-world-of-water-management","category-informatics-cartography-in-water-management","tag-conference","tag-copernicus","tag-czech-copernicus-user-forum","tag-czech-space-week","tag-president-of-the-czech-republic","tag-remote-sensing-rs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34631"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34631\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34731,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34631\/revisions\/34731"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34631"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtei.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=34631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
