The idea is for a new vehicle navigation system that works independently of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). It will navigate by landmarks that are easily visible from the vehicle, whose positions will be derived precisely from radar remote-sensing satellites. Tropospheric delay correction has made it possible to determine the coordinates of radar fix points in the centimetre range. With space radar missions like TanDEM-X and Sentinel-1, a global fix-point database can be set up and kept up to date. Modern cars with driver assistance systems have a variety of sensors on board – cameras, radar, and laser scanners – which could be used to detect these fix points and measure their distance and viewing angle from the vehicle. Using these measurements and the precise coordinates of the fix points retrieved from the database, the exact position of the vehicle can be derived. Data in Use: Radar images from TerraSAR-X or Sentinel-1, as well as precise weather data to compute the tropospheric delay that appeared during the SAR image data extraction; sensor data from the vehicle. Landmark Navigation is the winner of the BMW Connected Drive Challenge of the Copernicus Masters 2013 Competition. 
Impact – Benefits The combination of this technique with GNSS will lead to higher system integrity and reliability, which is important in applications requiring a high level of safety (e.g. autonomous cars). It can be used in ships, road and off-road vehicles, and planes. Further information Links

These blooms add costs not only by causing fish to die, but also through prolonged bay closures, subsequent waste disposal of fish, and increased insurance deductibles. Since they are part of nature, they cannot be prevented; with the right technology and know-how, however, they can be predicted. The ASIMUTH project has taken up this forecasting challenge. It hosts a monitoring service that provides a weekly regional alert on HAB via a web-published bulletin (www.asimuth.eu). The service is designed to combine all of the available information from Earth (in-situ monitoring stations), space (satellite data) and in-silico (biological and physical oceanic models) sources for the northeast Atlantic Ocean. ASIMUTH thus provides the aquaculture industry with an overview of areas at risk of a HAB event. Data in Use: Ocean colour and SST products retrieved from the MyOcean catalogue, and in-situ data to forecast blooms. ESA Sentinel-3 OLCI will provide Sea Surface Chlorophyll continuity of the ENVISAT MERIS sensor. ESA's SMOS-BEC will define important thermo-salinity fronts that influence the transport of HABs. HAB forecast is the winner of the Best Service Challenge of the Copernicus Masters 2013 Competition.
Impact – Benefits This warning system enables shellfish farmers to adapt their production schedules to suit each HAB situation and finfish farmers to install appropriate aeration systems to combat oxygen depletion during a bloom. Before ASIMUTH, no such options were available to farmers.

Copernicus Masters Competition SmartIrrigation - Satellite monitoring for agriculture A tool for better management, optimal production across large spans, and efficient use of water for irrigation. The SmartIrrigation solution measures soil moisture and plant health by taking satellite data and integrating it with weather information and measurements from in-situ soil moisture sensors. This provides agricultural managers and decision-makers with fundamental information that facilitates better management, optimal production across large spans, and efficient use of water for irrigation. Data in Use: ASAR data and in situ measurements taken by sensors for soil moisture for NDVI. MODIS and AVHRR for NDVI. The launches of Sentinels 1 and 3 will be crucial for the provision of soil moisture and NDVI monitoring services, respectively. Revisit times of 2-3 days for both are a great asset for service provision. SmartIrrigation is the 3rd place winner of the Best Service Challenge of the Copernicus Masters 2013 Competition.
Impact – Benefits The service can help farmers achieve optimal agricultural production with an efficient use of water for irrigation.
