VITO Remote Sensing's services
In particular, VITO Remote Sensing is offering TA to
- satellite-based aquatic products, via Terrascope
- drone-based aquatic products, via MAPEO Water, and
- airborne water-leaving reflectance products, obtained from the CWIS-II (now called AVIRIS-4) imaging spectrometer, operated by the Remote Sensing Laboratories from the University of Zurich as part of the ARES Observatory.
In the AQUARIUS Catalogue you can search for Terrascope, MAPEO and CWIS-II (AVIRIS-4) to discover more about these state-of-the-art AQUARIUS remote sensing research infrastructures.
Keep an eye on the AQUARIUS website and social media channels & subscribe to the AQUARIUS newsletter as several brokerage events will be organized to promote the AQUARIUS Research Infrastructures and TA Calls.
