What is the problem?
In the case of events, in situ sampling may be completely missing, rendering the task of understanding the cause or source of the event difficult or impossible. This may prevent experts from taking proper preparatory measures or preventing similar events from happening in the future.
How do the EOMORES services address it?
There are two event monitoring options available:
1) Early warning services: certain high-impact events happen frequently, yet not regularly and being able to prevent or limit potential damage is highly beneficial. The EOMORES services combine satellite data, continuous in situ data and numerical in order to provide compatible solutions in the form of early warning systems.
2) Analysis in retrospect: suitable for situations when no samples were collected during the occurrence of an event, or when the samples collected have no spatial coverage over the affected area. Satellite data is captured on a continuous basis, even when no specific event monitoring service is running for the area. These data can be collected and processed, allowing for an in-depth analysis of the event in retrospect.
