“As the most complex of all the Sentinel satellites, Sentinel-3A carries a suite of cutting-edge instruments to measure oceans, land, ice and atmosphere.” I haven’t used Sentinel 3 before; my preferred workhorse is Sentinel 2 and its multispectral data. I’m interested in the surface of the earth and its characteristics. Mapping features, classifying terrains and… Read More »Sentinel 3 for beginners
Last week I wrote about using Earth Observation data without ever looking at a satellite image; extracting the values from an image and then presenting the data in an informative way. http://www.acgeospatial.co.uk/blog/eo-without-a-satellite-image/ Just how easy is it to extract the values from images? Sentinel 2a is operating with 12 bands; that means every location that… Read More »Extracting values from satellite imagery
To enable a user to use space derived data without ever actually seeing a satellite image. To move from pixels to analytics. To break through the ‘that’s a nice image – but so what?’ barrier? To add value. I wrote about my thoughts on this last week; http://www.acgeospatial.co.uk/blog/six-thinking-hats-eo/ the need to move towards more than just… Read More »Using Earth Observation data without ever looking at a satellite image
I have been reading Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats – “Run better meetings, make faster decisions”. Having not come across this book before I have become increasingly drawn into this idea of the hats and their associated ways of thinking. The idea is that you put on one of these hats at a time… Read More »Six thinking hats of Earth Observation

Combine this with a 32gb MicroSD card, a phone charger for a smart phone (Android OS in my case), a micro USB to USB cable and an old laptop – its amazing what you can do. £4… Read More »QGIS and Raspberry Pi Zero
