Use of satellite data<\/h1><\/div>

European and other countries' satellites today cover most of the globe and provide access to large amounts of data. Such data can be used to extract detailed information, for monitoring the environment and possible dangerous situations. However, this requires access to advanced and scalable tools, for fast processing and analysis.<\/p><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

To utilize the large amounts of data available from satellite-based monitoring, we develop techniques and analysis tools. Our work makes it possible to utilize satellite data in an efficient way for research on sea ice, open ocean, and land, and to facilitate information that society needs. We have cutting-edge expertise in remote sensing, and broad experience in the development of specially adapted software for processing satellite data.<\/p>\n

Our main focus is the northern sea areas, where we monitor, among other things, ice conditions and plankton blooms that can be harmful to marine ecosystems. Along the Norwegian coast, we look at changes in sea level, and study currents that are important for safe navigation. Our expertise and research make it possible to improve safety both on the open sea and near the coast. At the same time, we are looking at new areas where our expertise can come in handy, such as in ocean areas at southern latitudes. More efficient use of satellite data is needed to monitor changes in the environment and climate. We make important contributions to filling knowledge gaps in this area.<\/p>\n
