Description
💎 Idea
We plan to take complicated marine sea data and simplifying it into useful artistic renditions making the data approachable for a wide audience beyond environmental experts. We aim to be like a weather forecasting and radar indicator in one for all sea activity, above and below the water line.
🚀 EU space technologies
We use data from Copernicus. Arctic Sea and Ice surface temperature product based upon observations from the Metop_A AVHRR instrument. The product is a daily interpolated field with a 0.05 degrees resolution, and covers surface temperatures in the ocean, the sea ice and the marginal ice zone.
We also plan to incorporate other datasets as become regionally or navigationally relevant.
❄️ Connecting the Arctic
Our approach is about ensuring Safe passage at sea. However, with a few additional features it can also be used for Caring for our wildlife in the arctic. Within the arctic, changes in weather data can pose huge risks in a already challenging environment. Our project reduces several data points into just one, reducing the mental load for people processing the data.
