Imagine a giant network of ground sensors acting like a high-definition camera for the Earth's breath. This project connects those ground sensors with satellites to make sure the space-based measurements are actually accurate. It's like having a gold-standard ruler on the ground to double-check the measurements taken from miles above.
Satellite-based greenhouse gas monitoring often lacks the ground-truth precision needed for regulatory compliance. There is a gap between raw atmospheric observations and actionable climate services for policymakers and industry.
Automated processing and quality control pipelines for CO2, CH4, and CO measurements. Installation of LST and fAPAR sensors for satellite calibration.
If you are a carbon auditing firm dealing with imprecise satellite emissions data — this project developed automated processing and quality control for CO2 and CH4 that provides quantified uncertainty assessments. This allows for more accurate reporting for corporate clients.
If you are a satellite provider dealing with calibration errors in land-surface temperature data — this project installed sensors for LST and fAPAR to validate satellite measurements. This improves the reliability of the data products you sell to governments.
If you are an AgTech company dealing with inaccurate carbon sequestration models — this project streamlined data pipelines from 180 stations to provide high-precision greenhouse gas flux data. This helps in creating more precise soil carbon credit tools.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing model mentioned, as it is part of a European research infrastructure.
The infrastructure is already operational with 180 stations across 16 countries, though the NUBICOS project focuses on improving the data value chain for new users.
Based on available project data, the project produces protocols and processes for the WMO global greenhouse gases watch, but specific licensing terms are not listed.
It improves the value chain from raw observations to climate services by streamlining data pipelines and collaborating with the remote sensing community.
The project period runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-12-31.
The consortium is heavily academic and research-oriented, consisting of 14 partners from 9 countries, with 8 universities and 6 research organizations. There is a 0% industry ratio, indicating that the project is currently focused on scientific validation and infrastructure improvement rather than immediate commercial product development.
