註釋The Copernicus programme generates valuable data from satellites and in situ sensors - and makes vast amounts of earth observation data available, in line with the European Data Portal's goal to increase the accessibility and value of open data. This analytical report aims to help open data enthusiasts with leveraging the potential of Copernicus data for earth observation applications. While earth observation professionals may have the required knowledge and tools readily available, open data users are likely to face three basic questions: (1) What can I do with Copernicus data? (2) How can I access the data? (3) What tools do I need for using the data? This report will address these questions using information found on the European Data Portal, specialised catalogues, and by examining practical examples of Copernicus data applications. It first reviews some of the many possible uses of Copernicus Data such as (1) observing plastic pollution of the oceans, land change through mining activities, volcanic activities, ice loss, creation of artificial islands, and various impacts on nature, e.g., deforestation, wildfires, storms, or pests. It then further covers one example application in-depth, demonstrating how an (2) application can download data from the Copernicus Open Access Hub, and (3) process the downloaded data using specialised tools. Thus, our desk research demonstrates the practical use of the different product types provided by the Copernicus missions and highlights how the open data community can access and process Copernicus data for building applications that allow for earth observation insights.
