"http://schema.org/description": "reflecting-on-copernicus-ground-motion-service-and-in-situ-data-at-eea-over-the-years Reflecting on Copernicus, ground motion service and in situ data at EEA over the years \r\n Henrik Steen Andersen has been an instrumental figure at the European Environment Agency (EEA), playing pivotal roles in the development of the Copernicus programme — particularly with regards to in situ data coordination and implementation of the European Ground Motion Service . Before Henrik’s retirement at the end of September , we had the privilege of sitting down with him to delve into his experiences and insights. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n As you reflect on your time at the EEA, what were the most rewarding aspects of your work? \r\n \r\n \r\n I have always found it very interesting and rewarding to work internationally, and so when I got the chance to work at the EEA within the Copernicus project , I accepted immediately . \r\n \r\n \r\n Being a so-called ‘ Copernicus Entrusted Entity ’ allows the EEA to play a very central and visible role when it comes to both land monitoring from space and in situ data coordination. \r\n \r\n \r\n For me, being able to influence such a huge and impactful programme as Copernicus has been challenging and incredibly satisfying. It has been great to see how the different Copernicus participating states, entrusted entities, and the European Commission have been able to jointly accomplish something meaningful by meeting the need for accurate and timely environmental data. \r\n \r\n \r\n I was especially proud of my work coordinating the implementation of the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS ) and of my contributions as head of the Copernicus In Situ component . \r\n \r\n \r\n The EEA is also a user of Copernicus data. F urther leveraging the vast expertise , knowledge, and additional information available in the EEA’s thematic programmes will add value to the CLMS portfolio and will be appreciated by CLMS users that do not have the capacity to do targeted assessments but still desire policy relevant information. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n With respect to EGMS , what were your most significant challenges? \r\n \r\n \r\n The EGMS was a first in many respects. Implementing this innovative service at European level has been simultaneously rewarding and challenging. \r\n \r\n \r\n The EGMS was initially proposed by the Copernicus participating states and it has been fulfilling to see how well EGMS has been received and used by relevant communities in Europe. N ow that EGMS is up and running , user uptake activities are essential to ensure that EGMS is fully exploited and continues to evolve. I mportantly, the EEA is now acknowledged for bringing ground motion information to European users, and it is interesting to see how EGMS is being proposed as a model for implementation of continent - wide ground motion services elsewhere in the world. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n What kind of challenges did you face as the coordinator of the In Situ component ? \r\n \r\n \r\n From the outset of Copernicus, it was clear that in situ data w ere fundamental to fulfil the objective s of the programme. It was equally clear that Copernicus is not meant to create such data . O n the contrary, the programme relies on existing capacitie s typically provided by Member States and countries outside Europe. \r\n \r\n \r\n Copernicus’ open data policy—which is really a game-changer feature—has also been shaping the relationship s with in situ data providers. For some in situ data providers, the open data policy conflicted with their business model. Therefore, the EEA and other entrusted entities have played an important role in raising the awareness of in situ data owners and providers regarding the in situ data needs of Copernicus and how important these data are for the content and quality of the services’ products and , ultimately , for their ability to meet users’ requirements. \r\n \r\n \r\n It has been great to see how more and more essential in situ data have consequently been made available. This is fundamental to the success of Copernicus . \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n What was it like representing the EEA in these settings ? \r\n \r\n \r\n Because the EEA is responsible for the coordination of Copernicus’ access to in situ data, I cooperat ed closely with the other six Copernicus services and the two space agencies responsible for implementing the Copernicus space segment. It w as clear from the start that we share the same goal: to create and maintain a reliable and sustainable delivery of in situ data to Copernicus. This contributed to a very positive and fruitful working relationship between the EEA and the other entrusted entities . \r\n \r\n \r\n As most of the in situ data needed by Copernicus stem from institutions and agencies in Member States , it i s important to create and maintain partnerships with data providers in the countries. This is done either directly or via European networks and organisations such as EIONET, EuroGeographics , EuroGOOS , and EUMETNET. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n W hat emerging technologies or scientific innovations can impact In Situ/CLMS? \r\n \r\n \r\n The plans for future satellite missions, such as the next generation Sentinels, Copernicus expansion missions, and new contributing missions , will have an immense impact on the data and services provided by Copernicus in the coming decades. \r\n \r\n \r\n Th is, together with an expand ing data product portfolio , will create new demands for in situ data , infrastructure , and collection initiatives. \r\n \r\n \r\n Likewise, when it comes to in situ observations, new methodologies and the development of innovative sensor technologies will lead to better spatial coverage, higher quality, and timely observation of more essential variable s. T his will be especially true for areas that are currently data-sparse such as the Polar region and Africa. \r\n \r\n \r\n As an overarching concept, so-called “ integrated observing systems ” , which combine ground and space based observing capacities , will presumably grow stronger in the future. Copernicus may play an important role here , simply because the Copernicus programme will need to efficiently combine space and in situ data and observing capacities to maximise the return on investments. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n What trends have the potential to impact the Copernicus program me as a whole in the coming years? \r\n \r\n \r\n It has been inspiring and motivating to see the huge effect of the European Green Deal on Copernicus objectives and achievements. Hopefully, climate and environment will remain a high priority when the new European Commission defines its priorities in 2024 . However, it is already evident that ‘defence and security’ is playing an increasing role , and that Copernicus and Member States will need to find a suitable response. \r\n \r\n \r\n With regards to in situ data, things are trending towards more open data policies , both globally and at EU and country level . T his is a very positive development. In Europe the EU’s Open Data Directive and the goal to make high value datasets openly and digitally available will have a positive impact on Copernicus’ access to in situ data . Additionally, g lobal initiatives such as the UN’s ‘Early Warning for All’ and the WMO’s ambitious new Unified Data Policy will lead to more essential in situ data being made available to Copernicus. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n W hat are your own plans for the future ? \r\n \r\n \r\n I a m going to work as a freelance consultant. I hope that my background and long experience will allow me to help with organising and supporting primarily Earth Observation activities the coming three to four years. \r\n ",
