In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the Mass concentration of the Nitrate in seawater is added. In most cases of excess nitrate concentrations in aquatic systems, the primary sources are wastewater discharges, as well as surface runoff from agricultural or landscaped areas that have received excess nitrate fertilizer. The resulting eutrophication and algae bloom result in anoxia and dead zones. As a consequence, as nitrate forms a component of total dissolved solids, they are widely used as an indicator of water quality.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the Mass concentration of the Dissolved Iron in seawater is added. Iron is an essential nutrient not only for humans but also for microscopic marine life. As a key nutrient for phytoplankton, iron has an important role in the oceanic carbon cycle. When phytoplankton bloom, they absorb carbon dioxide from ocean water, and they take it with them to the deep ocean when they die. The amount of iron available to them controls how fast they grow, and so how fast they take up carbon.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the updated MSG Total and Diffuse Downward Surface Shortwave Flux (MDSSFTD) layer is added. The MDSSFTD product is an instantaneous estimate (every 15 minutes) of the total Downwelling Surface Short-wave radiative Flux (DSSF) (W/m2) and the fraction of the diffuse flux component to the total flux (unitless, between 0 - 1). The DSSF refers to the radiative energy in the wavelength interval [0.3 µm, 4.0 µm] reaching the Earth's surface per time and surface unit. An accurate knowledge of the spatio-temporal distribution of downwelling solar radiation and of its diffuse component at the surface are essential for understanding the climate processes at the Earth-atmosphere interface, but also for plant photosynthesis and carbon cycle.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the up-to-date Downwelling Surface Longwave Flux (DSLF) layer is added. Downward longwave radiation is heat emitted back to Earth from the atmosphere and can change depending on the composition of the air. It is often referred to as “thermal” or “infrared” radiation and is a primary contributor to the energy balance of the land and ocean surface.
DSLF is the result of atmospheric scattering, absorption and emission in the entire vertical column. As an important component of global radiation balance, downwelling surface longwave flux (DSLF) is of major interest for the study of land surface processes and land–atmosphere exchange due to its applicability in hydrology, meteorology and climatology. It generally has a heat-preservation effect on the earth and is a key variable to clarify the temperature dependency of worldwide ablation rates.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the Mass concentration of the global Chlorophyll in sea water is added. Chlorophyll is an indicator for the abundance of photosynthetic plankton, the primary producers of the ocean. Phytoplankton contain chlorophyll which allows them to use the energy of sunlight to transform CO2 to sugars and oxygen by means of photosynthesis. Research and monitoring activities have a key role to play in understanding of phytoplankton and their essential role for marine ecosystems. A healthy ocean is a key to the sustainable development of the blue economy.

In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the updated Surface Albedo layer is added. The surface albedo quantifies the fraction of the sunlight reflected by the surface of the Earth. Different albedo concepts are defined:
• The directional albedo or directional-hemispherical reflectance (also called black-sky albedo) is the integration of the bi-directional reflectance over the viewing hemisphere. It assumes all energy is coming from a direct radiation from the sun and is computed for a specific time.
• The hemispherical albedo or bi-hemispherical reflectance (also called white-sky albedo) is the integration of the directional albedo over the illumination hemisphere. It assumes a complete diffuse illumination.
The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) specified the black-sky albedo (directional albedo) as an Essential Climate Variable and the product is required for climate change purposes.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the updated Lake surface water temperature (LSWT) layer is added. Lake surface water temperature describes the temperature of the lake surface, one important indicator of lake hydrology and biogeochemistry. Temperature trends observed over many years can be an indicator of how climate change affects the lake.
LSWT is recognized internationally as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV) and complements the water quality information, in environmental monitoring of a large number of lakes globally.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the up-to-date Lake Ice Extent (LIE) layer is added. Lake Ice Extent classifies ice for freshwater bodies, per cloud-free pixel, into:
Lake ice is a good climate indicator and interesting parameter in hydrological modelling, weather prediction and, after integration over time, estimating dates for ice phenology events (ice break-up, ice-off).
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the up-to-date Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) layer is added. Snow Water Equivalent describes the equivalent amount of liquid water stored in the snow pack. It indicates the water column that would theoretically result should the whole snow pack melt instantaneously and is defined as product between the snow layer’s depth and density.
Information about snow water equivalent is needed in applications such as flood forecasting, controlling the water level of power plant reservoirs, planning for forestry and crop irrigation and as input and control variable for many environment research purposes, including climate change research.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the updated Snow Cover layer is added. Snow cover, also called snowpack, is the amount of land covered by snow at any given time. It includes both new snow and previous snow and ice that have not melted.
Snow cover is an indicator of climate change, but it also exerts an influence on climate. On a more local scale, snow cover is important for humans and ecosystems, who rely on snowmelt to replenish streams and groundwater. Snow cover also keeps the soil moist, so if the snow melts away earlier in the spring, the soil may dry out sooner, which can stress plants and increase the risk of wildfire.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the up-to-date Evapotranspiration (ET) layer is added. Water vapor flux or Evapotranspiration (ET) is a complicated process, consisting of the evaporation of water from the soil and water intercepted by the canopy, as well as of the transpiration from plant leaves. Physiological, soil and climatic variables are involved in these processes.
The role of ET in the decision-making procedure concerning water requirements for the crops, climatic characterization and for water management in general is of great importance. The estimation of ET from vegetated areas is a basic tool to compute water balances and to estimate water needs and availability.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the Land Surface Temperature (LST) layer is added. Land surface temperature is the radiative skin temperature of the land derived from solar radiation. LST measures the emission of thermal radiance from the land surface where the incoming solar energy interacts with and heats the ground, or the surface of the canopy in vegetated areas.
Primarily, LST is a sufficient indicator of the phenomenon of Urban Heat Islands (UHI). Also, it can be used for monitoring vegetation water stress, assessing surface energy balance, detecting land surface disturbance and monitoring condition suitability for insect–vector disease proliferation.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the Soil Water Index is added. The Soil Water Index quantifies the moisture condition at various depths in the soil. It is mainly driven by | the precipitation via the process of infiltration. Soil moisture is a very heterogeneous variable and varies on small scales with soil properties and drainage patterns. Satellite measurements integrate over relative large-scale areas, with the presence of vegetation adding complexity to the interpretation.
The soil moisture, up to 5cm soil depth, is recognized as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the Surface Soil Moisture layer is added. is the relative water content of the top few centimeters soil, describing how wet or dry the soil is in its topmost layer, expressed in percent saturation. It is measured by satellite radar sensors and allows insights in local precipitation impacts and soil conditions. Knowledge on the dynamics of soil moisture is important in the understanding of processes in many environmental and socio-economic fields, e.g., its impact on vegetation vitality, crop yield, droughts or exposure to flood threats.
SSoil Moisture is recognized as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) layer is updated. The NDVI is a simple graphical indicator that can be used to analyze remote sensing measurements, often from a space platform, assessing whether or not the target being observed contains live green vegetation.
Several sectors using NDVI. In agriculture, farmers use NDVI for precision farming and to measure biomass. In forestry, foresters use NDVI to quantify forest supply and leaf area index. Final, is a good indicator of drought. When water limits vegetation growth, it has a lower relative NDVI and density of vegetation.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the Leaf Area Index (LAI) layer is added. The LAI is defined as half the total area of green elements of the canopy per unit horizontal ground area.
The Leaf Area Index is thus an important indicator of radiation and precipitation interception, energy conversion, and water balance. Ultimately, it is a reliable parameter for plant growth. This is the reason why most studies in agronomy and horticulture measure the results of interventions such as fertilizers and irrigation in terms of LAI, as well as yield. Also, the levels of LAI will vary with the canopy architecture, which depends on the cultivars, geography, and field cultural practices. Then there are differences which arise from the types of crops and fruits.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the Fraction of green Vegetation Cover layer is added. The Fraction of Vegetation Cover (FCover) corresponds to the fraction of ground covered by green vegetation. Practically, it quantifies the spatial extent of the vegetation. Because it is independent from the illumination direction and it is sensitive to the vegetation amount, FCover is a very good candidate for the replacement of classical vegetation indices for the monitoring of ecosystems.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the FAPAR layer is added. The FAPAR quantifies the fraction of the solar radiation absorbed by live leaves for the photosynthesis activity. Then, it refers only to the green and alive elements of the canopy. The FAPAR depends on the canopy structure, vegetation element optical properties, atmospheric conditions, and angular configuration. To overcome this latter dependency, a daily integrated FAPAR value is assessed.
The maps of FAPAR are recognized as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the Dry Matter Productivity index is added. Dry matter Productivity (DMP) represents the overall growth rate or dry biomass increase of the vegetation and is directly related to ecosystem Net Primary Productivity (NPP), however with units customized for agro-statistical purposes (kg/ha/day). DMP is used for Crop monitoring, Yield forecasting, and Carbon sequestration / Net Primary Productivity (NPP).
In order to achieve the maximum possible production by photosynthesis, the produced dry matter must be disposed of as much as possible in the harvested part of the plant.
In the renewed system of Aratos Earth Observation Data Platform the renewal of the Burnt Area index is added. Burnt Area accounts for burn scars, surfaces which have been sufficiently affected by fire to display significant changes in the vegetation cover (destruction of dry material, reduction or loss of green material) and in the ground surface (temporarily darker because of ash). Moreover, they give temporal information on the fire season.
The maps of Burnt Area are recognized as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).

Είναι γεγονός πως η χρήση της σύγχρονης τεχνολογίας μπορεί να διασώσει το περιβάλλον. Με αφορμή τις καταστροφικές πυρκαγίες σε Βόρεια Εύβοια, Αττική και Ηλεία και με πιο πρόσφατο παράδειγμα στα Βίλια Αττικής, που πήρε τεράστια έκταση και είχε καταστροφική επίδραση. Γίνεται αναγκαία η εφαρμογή διαστημικών και δορυφορικών εργαλείων που μπορούν αποτρέψουν επικείμενες φυσικές καταστροφές.
Πιο συγκεκριμένα, ο όμιλος ΑΡΑΤΟΣ προτείνει την υπηρεσία ARATOS FIRE SOLUTION που περιλαμβάνει 3 στάδια, την πρόληψη- δυνατότητα τακτικής παρακολούθησης δασικών περιοχών-, την κρίση- γνωστοποιήση του συμβάντος- και την αποκατάσταση -αντιμετώπιση της “επόμενης μέρας”-.
Όπως αναφέρει και o Δρ. Νίκος Μπογονικολός, Πρόεδρος του Ομίλου Άρατος, σε συνέντευξή του στο proto-thema.gr : «Η τεχνολογία σήμερα μας δίνει όλα εκείνα τ’ απαραίτητα εργαλεία για να εποπτεύσουμε μ’ επιτυχία δασικές περιοχές. Μ’ ελάχιστο κόπο και κόστος, όλοι οι εμπλεκόμενοι φορείς και μηχανισμοί μπορούν να ενημερώνονται -σε πραγματικό χρόνο- σε περίπτωση πυρκαγιών, ενώ άμεσα παρακολουθούν και την εξέλιξη της καταστροφής για την αποτελεσματικότερη διαχείριση των επίγειων και εναέριων δυνάμεων πυρόσβεσης.»
Αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως πέρα απο την πλήρη και λεπτομερή αποτίμηση πυρκαγιών, η χρήση της υπηρεσίας μπορεί να εφαρμοσθεί και για την επόπτευση των καμμένων δασικών περιοχών, οι οποίες συχνά λόγω της δυσβατότητάς τους δεν παρακολουθούνται και μπαίνουν στο στόχαστρο επιτήδειων που είτε κτίζουν είτε καλλιεργούν παράνομα στις πυρόπληκτες εκτάσεις.
Τέλος, o Όμιλος ΑΡΑΤΟΣ προσφέρει μια δωρεάν εφαρμογή για smartphone , το «FIRESOS», όπου μπορεί κανείς σε πραγματικό χρόνο να φωτογραφίζει σημεία πυρκαγιών, να “ανεβάζει” τη φωτογραφία και άμεσα με τις συντεταγμένες του σημείου να ενημερώνονται οι εμπλεκόμενοι φορείς, πριν η φωτιά πάρει έκταση.

Prior to the announcement of Horizon Euroe calls & topics, Aratos Net is already involved in a number of B2B events for exploitation of opportunities and collaboration with important partners throughout Europe.
These B2B events are as following:
In this episode of CORDIScovery, IMPRESSIVE is promoted together with other two EU-funded projects (D-NOSES, APA) offering some answers to questions like the following:
In many areas the pandemic has reduced our impact on the natural environment, but what happens when we emerge from the restrictions and fire up our economies once again as is now starting to happen?
Will we also be firing up a renewed production of pollution that harms both us and the planet?
From oil spills that threaten our seas, to the stinks that ruin our day, pollution touches us at all levels. How can citizen scientists help?
What can we do to keep the air around us free of viruses and particulate pollution?
Can we really make the polluter pay for oil and waste-water spills in our seas and oceans?
