CERTO: Copernicus Evolution: Research for harmonized transition water Observation
Acronim: CERTO
The project focuses on the lagoons, deltas and estuaries, which are the transition areas between rivers, streams and seas. The objective of the project is to improve and harmonize the studying methods for the surface waters, using satellite data and in-situ measurements. CERTO will investigate the water parameters that can be used to assess the quality status of all transitional aquatic environments. The project will provide services that can be used by the environmental quality monitoring agencies, by those working in the field of environmental policies, by various private companies, but also by the general public. The main result of the project will be a system ready to be implemented in the Copernicus services or specific software.
- Efficient exploitation of the Copernicus services, and of the Sentinel 2 and 3 in particular;
- Expanding the Copernicus services and the user community to meet their requirements for transition water monitoring;
- In-situ characterization of the transitional waters and validation of the satellite products;
- Harmonizing the classifications used for water types within the Copernicus services;
- Improving the algorithms used for the atmospheric corrections;
- Developing quality indicators for all water bodies;
- Production of services and data archives;
- Demonstrating the value of services to the potential stakeholders;
- Dissemination and communication of the results.
