DLR – (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) invites scientific users to register and submit proposals for data requests. Each proposal should be related to one project.
The main scientific goal of the hyperspectral EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program) mission is to study environmental changes, investigate ecosystem responses to human activities, and monitor the management of natural resources. By measuring diagnostic parameters that quantify the state and trend of environmental change, the stability of ecosystems, and the sustainability of resource use, the EnMAP mission aims to provide critical information for an improved understanding and management of the Earth System.
Selected proposals that include extensive in situ measurements and/or are embedded in already existing monitoring networks and larger research projects are highly welcome and can be granted a higher priority in the scheduling of observations.
The following two Announcement of Opportunity (AO) processes will be open to scientific users:
AO #00001: General AO Process duration: 02.11.2022- end of mission lifetime
The General AO aims at demonstrating the usability of EnMAP data for scientific studies in various application fields as described in the EnMAP Science Plan, but not limited to these, for product and algorithm validation and data harmonization
AO #00002: Special AO Process: Long-Term Ecosystem Monitoring (02.11.2022-31.01.2023)
The Special AO aims at long-term ecosystem monitoring spanning observation timescales of more than 1 year.
