Use of satellite imagery, remote sensing and GIS related technologies to improve sustainability of
marine ecosystems. Special reference to Copernicus/MyOcean program

Remote sensing is understood as a hardware association related to Satellite Earth Observation technology and Earth
Observation activities are those identified with the use of remote sensing equipment to provide data on earth observation
and global climate change. For Earth observation satellites, technological advancements will lead to better resolution, increase
in observation area and reduction in access time, i. e time taken between the request of an image by the user and its delivery.
Plans for future missions and instruments include entirely new types of measurement technology, such as hyperspectral sensors,
cloud radars, lidars and polarimetric sensors that will provide new insights into key parameters of atmospheric temperature
and moisture, soil moisture and ocean salinity. Several new gravity field missions aimed at more precise determination of the
marine geo id will also be launched in the future. These missions will also focus on disaster management and studies of key
Earth System processes – the water cycle, carbon cycle, cryosphere, the role of clouds and aerosols in global climate change and
sea level rise. Effectively, in this regard the so-called Group on Earth Observations gathered different member countries and
non-governmental entities aiming to provide for initiatives beneficial for the humankind by applying also a global system of
systems named the Global Earth Observation System of Systems.
