Join us for our next Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem webinar on 2 July at 14:00 CEST. This session will explore how readily available Sentinel satellite data can be utilized by water sports enthusiasts and professionals alike, offering insights into conditions relevant for activities such as sailing, surfing, and kayaking.

András Zlinszky from Sinergise will guide you through using satellite imagery to enhance your water sports preparation. Here's what we'll cover:

• Introduction to Copernicus Browser: Learn how to use this intuitive, open satellite image viewer to access and understand satellite data.
• Understanding Satellite Imagery Basics: Get a foundational introduction to how satellite imagery works.
• Exploring Sentinel-1 Data:
  • Discover how this radar sensor provides information about water surface roughness.
  • Learn how to distinguish land from water and interpret roughness patterns to understand typical wind conditions for sailing and kayaking, including local winds, currents, wind shadows, and waves.
• Exploring Sentinel-2 Data:
  • See how this optical sensor detects sun glint patterns influenced by currents.
  • Understand how to use it for water quality parameters and bathymetry.
  • Learn to interpret water quality patterns, including algal blooms and sediment discharge events.
  • Explore the coastal seabed, including a script to create bathymetric maps.
• Analyzing Flooding Patterns: For river and lake kayaking trips, learn how to interpret both Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data to understand flooding patterns.

The course is also accessible to people who have never worked with satellite imagery before.
