    Íslenskur texti er í vinnslu. This raster dataset is a visibility analysis of several wind turbine projects across Iceland which are a part of the fifth phase of the master plan (Rammaáætlun http://www.ramma.is/). The area analysed is a 45 km buffer zone around each wind turbine project. The cutout areas in the 45 km buffer have no visibility due to visual obstruction. The red colour represents high visibility, fading into yellow, with the green colour representing low visibility of the wind turbines. Zones of theoretical visibility have been classified as near (0-2km), intermediate (2-15km) and remote zone (>15km) which are represented in the colour grading. It should be considered that atmospheric conditions, lighting, shading and more affect visibility and detectability. The perception of the wind projects in the green zone will be more fading in the landscape without direct detection, while in the red coloured zone the wind turbine is a prominent element in the landscape. For further information consider reading the respective chapter in the project report or check out further tools like the Ramma 3D map. As a digital elevation model the 10x10 m resolution ÍslandsDEM is used which sets the dataset pixel resolution to 10x10 m. An average viewer height of 1.75 m is assumed, while the wind turbine heights vary between 150 m and 200 m depending on project sites. The maximal height of the wind turbine is considered, meaning to the upper blade tip. See more information in the table on the side. The curvature of the earth is considered in the simulation and a default atmospheric refraction of 0.13 is assumed.

  • ECMWF is the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Both a research institute and a 24/7 operational service, producing global numerical weather predictions and other data for our Member and Co-operating States and the broader community. The Centre has one of the largest supercomputer facilities and meteorological data archives in the world. Other strategic activities include delivering advanced training and assisting the WMO in implementing its programmes. A key player in Copernicus, the Earth Observation component of the European Union’s Space programme, offering quality-assured information on climate change (Copernicus Climate Change Service), atmospheric composition (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service), flooding and fire danger (Copernicus Emergency Management Service), and through the EU's Destination Earth initiative, we are developing prototype digital twins of the Earth. The organisation was established in 1975 and now employs around 450 staff from more than 35 countries. ECMWF is one of the six members of the Co-ordinated Organisations, which also include the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), the Council of Europe (CoE), the European Space Agency (ESA), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). This page contains information how to access data of the ECMWF.

    Copernicus is the Earth observation component of the European Union’s Space programme, looking at our planet and its environment to benefit all European citizens. It offers information services that draw from satellite Earth Observation and in-situ (non-space) data. The European Commission manages the Programme. It is implemented in partnership with the Member States, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), EU Agencies and Mercator Océan. Vast amounts of global data from satellites and ground-based, airborne, and seaborne measurement systems provide information to help service providers, public authorities, and other international organisations improve European citizens' quality of life and beyond. The information services provided are free and openly accessible to users. But why is it called Copernicus you may ask? By choosing Copernicus's name, we are paying homage to a great European scientist and observer: Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicus' theory of the heliocentric universe made a pioneering contribution to modern science. Copernicus opened man to an infinite universe, previously limited by the rotation of the planets and the sun around the Earth, and created an understanding of a world without borders. Humanity was able to benefit from his insight. This set in motion a spirit of discovery through scientific research, which allowed us to understand better the world we live in. These value-adding activities are streamlined through six thematic streams of Copernicus services: - Atmosphere CAMS - Marine CMEMS - Land CLMS - Climate Change C3S - Security - Emergency EMS

  • The European Space Agency (ESA) is an intergovernmental organization dedicated to the exploration of space and the advancement of space science and technology. Established in 1975 and headquartered in Paris, France, ESA operates in collaboration with its 22 member states to conduct space missions, develop satellite systems, and foster international cooperation in space research and exploration. ESA's activities span a wide range of areas, including Earth observation, space science, human spaceflight, satellite navigation, and telecommunications. One of ESA's primary objectives is to collect and analyze data from space to better understand Earth's environment, climate, and natural phenomena. Through its Earth observation programs, such as the Copernicus program, ESA operates a fleet of satellites that monitor the planet's land, oceans, atmosphere, and cryosphere. These satellites collect a wealth of data on topics like sea level rise, deforestation, air quality, and natural disasters, providing valuable information for environmental monitoring, disaster response, and scientific research. In addition to Earth observation, ESA conducts space science missions to study the cosmos and unravel the mysteries of the universe. From missions to explore distant planets and asteroids to observatories studying the origins of the universe, ESA's space science endeavors produce vast amounts of data on celestial bodies, cosmic phenomena, and the fundamental laws of physics. To disseminate the data collected from its missions and satellite systems, ESA employs various channels and platforms. ESA operates data archives and repositories where researchers and the public can access raw and processed data from space missions and Earth observation satellites. Additionally, ESA collaborates with national space agencies, research institutions, and international organizations to share data and promote scientific collaboration. Through online portals, data hubs, and dedicated data access platforms, ESA provides easy and open access to its vast repository of space data, empowering scientists, policymakers, and citizens to explore and utilize space-derived information for scientific research, innovation, and societal benefit. This page contains a quick reference how to access and find ESA datasets and services.
