Water Quality Monitoring Platform

Aquatic environments are dynamic, and their spatial and temporal variability increases as they approach the coast. Thanks to R&D funding, ARCTUS has developed satellite data processing chains to generate near-real-time variables used as proxies for water quality, such as turbidity and chlorophyll-a concentration (linked to algal production and eutrophication). The processing chains are based on the latest algorithm developments published in the scientific literature. We exploit free multispectral satellite data provided by Earth observation programs (e.g. Copernicus, NOAA, NASA/USGS). Our processing chains can also ingest higher-resolution satellite data sold by private suppliers (e.g. Planet Lab, Airbus, Maxar). Thanks to a collaboration with Cartovista, our products are distributed to end-users via a web platform designed for non-specialists in remote sensing or geomatics. Users can consult, analyze and explore satellite products online in an interactive way, thanks to numerous tools developed by CartoVista.
