Excellent Acquisition Performance of e-GEOS GeoEye-1 and IKONOS Ground Station in Neustrelitz, Germany
e-geos / eurimage news
Rome, 9 September, 2010
Under the exclusive agreement for the distribution of GeoEye-1 and IKONOS products in Europe and North Africa, signed with GeoEye Inc. in late 2008, e-GEOS and Eurimage are pleased to report the excellent performance of its Imaging and Processing Facility (IPF) in Neustrelitz (Germany), operated by Euromap, with the support of Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luftfahrt (DLR).
Under the agreement e-GEOS was granted direct access to the satellite planning over its exclusive distribution territory of Europe and North Africa.
During the first year of operations the IPF has acquired more than 80% of imagery with cloud cover less than 15% and 50% of all acquisitions were cloud free.
This excellent result was achieved thanks to the great work of the IPF Team and the outstanding performance of the GeoEye-1 satellite, which allowed e-GEOS to successfully complete most of its projects, including the very demanding Control with Remote Sensing (CwRS) Campaign of the European Commission JRC, of more than 150,000 km2 of GeoEye-1 and IKONOS imagery, acquired over 21 countries in just 3.5 months. Thanks also to the GeoEye Inc. Team in the US for their contribution.
Please contact your customer service representative to experience the most competitive pricing and conditions and outstanding acquisition performance for your Very High Resolution Imagery orders.
GeoEye-1 Imagery is currently the most advanced geospatial product available world-wide, in terms of resolution and accuracy.

16.09.2010: New MERIS L1 processor and updates for BEAM 4.8.
The MERIS L1 Equalization processor, a new processor for MERIS Level 1 data products, is now available. It performs a radiometric equalization of the MERIS L1b products. It reduces detector-to-detector and camera-to-camera systematic radiometric differences and results into a diminution of the vertical stripping observed on MERIS L1b products.
Additionally, several modules of BEAM have been updated.The changes are listed in the issue summary
16.09.2010: German online magazine Golem.de refers to CalVal Portal
31.07.2010: New BEAM 4.8, GlobToolbox 2.0, SMOS-Box 2.1, CHRIS-Box 1.5.2, and EPR-API 2.2 have been released
In the BEAM 4.8 release we have added a number of new readers to enable BEAM to work with even more remote sensing products. In particular we have added readers for products originating from the SPOT VEGETATION programme, for Landsat TM products in GeoTIFF format, for HDF-EOS gridded products, and a reader for generic NetCDF/CF-products. BEAM 4.8 also allows to export products to the widely used data format NetCDF/CF. As another feature it is now possible to apply “auto-grouping” in the product tree; that is, product nodes whose names start with the same character sequence are automatically put into a common group.
GlobToolbox 2.0 extends the first version of the GlobToolbox by a number of tools tackling the time dimension. First of all, a time series manager allows to define and edit time series. A time series player allows vividly visualising a time series by providing the control elements for navigating through a time series, either manually or automatically. And a time series graph has been developed which may be used to compare values of different measures, such as TSM or SST, for a specified time series. Apart from time series, the GlobToolbox 2.0 additionally allows to export arbitrary global products to the widely used NetCDF/CF-format.
Release 2.1 of the SMOS-Box is a maintenance release. The main new feature is the export of grid points in the Earth Explorer format.
CHRIS-Box 1.5.2 is a release which allows the CHRIS-Box to run properly with BEAM 4.8.
The release 2.2 of the Envisat Reader API now functions correctly on 64-bit architectures.
The respective installers can be downloaded from website.
BMT launches dedicated Operational Client Weather and Ocean Information Centre to support operations worldwide
BMT ARGOSS, a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd, has launched a dedicated 24/7, 365 days a year operational, maritime weather forecasting centre which will provide vital support for its customer’s operations such as platform installations and maintenance, near shore cable lay operations, dredging works, ship to ship transfers, ongoing LNG terminal operations and port monitoring.
The services offered by the centre will help to optimise operability and minimise risks due to unexpected and unfavourable weather conditions.
Utilising advanced in-house operational, numerical modelling at global, regional and local scales, together with satellite observations and in-situ real-time measurements, BMT ARGOSS’ forecasting services are tailored to individual client requirements. Backed by extensive IT and data management infrastructure, its model systems are routinely and continuously calibrated and validated against independent observations to ensure optimal performance.
Jean-Paul Lindeboom, Senior Meteorologist and heading the centre at BMT ARGOSS explains: “This centre is an exciting step forward for us to support our clients in their business. Understanding customers’ businesses and needs is a vital ingredient to a successful relationship and we recognise that detailed and accurate forecasts of the environmental conditions are critical to our clients and their operations. Through our expert in-house team who have over 25 years’ experience, we are fully committed to ensuring we help minimise the risks involved, by providing high quality meteorological, wave, current and water level forecasting services.”
A key aspect of the services offered by BMT ARGOSS will be its ability to provide forecasters licenced to work onsite, which will be particularly advantageous for special offshore operations such as derrick replacements and the installation of Wellhead protectors in order to enhance operational efficiency and most importantly, minimise any possible safety risks to employees.

Aratos Technologies S.A. Fire Detection Algorithm™
Aratos Technologies S.A. has recently implemented its own algorithm, Aratos Fire Detection Algorithm™ , to be used in the processes of real time detection of fires.
The algorithm was designed by taking under consideration the company’s technical knowledge and experience in the field of fire detections and uses real time satellite data which are being combined with regard to the environmental factors contributing to the cause, expansion and/or maintenance of a fire.
The results acquired from the algorithm’s performance were highly successful and are going to be united with the detection systems that the company already runs in its products for monitoring and protecting private and public areas, Aratos Disaster ControlΤΜ and European Fire Guard Alarm SystemΤΜ.

Fires hit Greece for another summer
For another summer continuous fires occur in Greece, causing catastrophic damage to agricultural, forest and residential areas. Some examples are the fires at Samos, Kithira and East Attica.
In such cases, the earlier the fire is detected, the better it is. The Crisis Management System developed by Aratos Technologies S.A., Aratos Disaster Control, detected the majority of the fires which occurred this summer in Greece and sent early warnings.
Moreover, our company continues to send “Rapid Damage Assessment” for every detected fire, free of charge, in sympathy with the fire-stricken areas.
