SEED-FD - Project objectives and innovative data approaches (videos)

The SEED-FD project aims to build on the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) to develop enhanced prediction systems for global application.

 

Two new videos showcasing the project's objectives and innovative data approaches have been published on the project website and YouTube channel.

 

The first video provides insights from researchers into the project’s objectives and phases, highlighting advancements in hydrological modelling, integrating innovative satellite and in-situ data, and expanding forecasting capabilities by using new techniques. These innovations aim to enhance early warning systems and strengthen disaster resilience worldwide. Discover more in the video: 

 

In the second video, experts take a closer look at SEED-FD’s innovative data approach, which integrates Earth observation data from satellites and in-situ measurements from ground-based micro-stations to enhance hydrological forecasting, especially in data-scarce regions. An explanation on how advanced model calibration and real-time data assimilation will be utilised in the project to refine the prediction of extreme weather events. These improvements make forecasts more accurate and reliable worldwide. Discover more in the video:
