How satellite data is helping farmers fight drought and grow smarter

Satellite-derived humidity indices could help smallholder farmers in Panama reduce climate-related losses. The concept—Cosechas 4.0—was one of eight projects selected for support at InnovaInvest: Copernicus Edition, an event connecting researchers and entrepreneurs with investors to address environmental challenges in Latin America.

KNMI shares weather data with fellow institutes via EUMETSAT

Weather satellites provide raw data for weather and climate models. EUMETSAT collects this raw data and distributes the processed data to weather institutes in its member countries, such as the Dutch KNMI. The institutes themselves contribute to the processing of the data. How does this work, how are the data distributed, and what is SURF’s role?
