Paper 113 - Session title: EO Open Science Posters The ESPOSS and C-TEP platforms will have a significant contribution. Client interface also might share some common features.ĮSA activities for increasing remote sensing data usage will have a major impact on the activities carried out by the stakeholders interested in the Black Sea basin. The development of the two platforms implies the use of similar technologies for specific modules, such as the OGC's standard web services. Terrasigna will be responsible for designing the Child TEP tailored for the Black Sea Basin.ĮSPOSS is mainly developed to disseminate high processing levels of data (Level 3 and Level 4), while C-TEP is designed to handle large amount of Level 1 and Level 2 information. Within the large platform, several smaller test-applications, called Child TEPs are going to be developed. C-TEP should anticipate the user's needs that might arise from the unprecedented amount of EO data that will be provided by current and future missions. C-TEP is designed as a collaborative platform where access shall be granted to usersthrough different types of portals (web, using http protocol, or by Remote Desktop Protocol), depending on the nature of the connection. While ESPOSS addressed the needs of less experienced EO users, the C-TEP aims to provide to scientific community a complete work environment, where users can have access to large volume of data, computing resources and processing software. EUXINUS Buoys Network)shall also be available. In-situ data from national and international institutions (e.g. ESPOSS has integrated also daily forecast data regarding significant wave height and total water level for Black Sea (kindly provided by Kassandra Storm Surge Modelling System consortium). Up to this moment, ESPOSS facilitates access to products such as MERIS Chlorophyll Level 3 data (monthly averaged products), MERIS Total Suspended Matter (TSM), MODIS derived Level 3 products based on 8 day composite, available from NASA's Ocean Color Data Distribution Center (Sea Surface Temperature, Chlorophyll Concentration and Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient at 490 nm). The users have access, among other geospatial data, to a wealth of satellite data coming from various sources and sensors, all related to Black Sea environmental parameters. The services were built upon open source solutions. It offers services based on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards for data retrieval (WMS, WCS, WFS) and server-side processing (WPS). The application incorporates geospatial data from various sources (satellite images, in-situ data, model outputs) and serves as a working tool for the scientific community and the relevant decision makers. In order to meet the users’ demands for simple interfaces to inspect, download, process and analyze the data, Terrasigna developed ESPOSS - a web based EO data access and processing application for the Black Sea. Another main initiative is the ESA's Thematic Exploitation Platform for Coastal Theme (C-TEP), with Terrasigna as part of the consortium, that kicked-off in 2015. One of its innovative initiatives is Earth Science Data Access and Processing Service for Black Sea (ESPOSS) project. Terrasigna dedicates significant efforts to this goal and its actions are visible through the developed projects. It is therefore obvious that special attention needs to be given to actions that foster larger scale usage of satellite information by the stakeholders. Efficient analysis and interpretation of EO data can contribute to a better understanding of the environmental challenges that Black Sea is facing. Regional studies empowering remote sensing data are considerably fewer than for other seas surrounding Europe (e.g. Black Sea is a unique marine environment, with specific environmental, economic and social problems to be tackled by the scientific and administrative communities.
