Kort beskrivelse
DMI monitors and reports routinely on sea ice and iceberg conditions near shore and inshore in South Greenland for direct support and guidance of local shipping. The suite of local ships ranges from commercial, passenger and coast guard ships to small individual and sail boats.
The primary area of interest is within 59°45'N-62°00'N and 42°50'W-48°30'W, but DMI delivers ice services globally on user demand.
Satellite data recorded in visual wavelength in resolutions of 15-20 m or better are very valuable for the inshore mapping program however fog, cloud cover and winter darkness is a significant limitation and imagery recorded with Synthetic Aperture Radar is a necessary complimentary data source.
Acquisition of imagery recorded with Synthetic Aperture Radar is the objective of this tender.
Near real time delivery of data is critical for the inshore program however access to data within a couple of hours is acceptable.
