SO₂ data and alert service

Project support for SACS

SACS is continued as a project on its own after PROMOTE and TEMIS (2009-2012).
Financier: European Space Agency (ESA)

SACS activies are linked to the EVOSS project (2010-2013).
Financier: European Commission (EC)

SACS has become operational as one of the Services of Stage II of the PROMOTE project (2006-2009).
Financier: European Space Agency (ESA)

Parts of SACS were initiated under the TEMIS project (2002-2009).
Financier: European Space Agency (ESA)

Projects to which SACS is linked

Part of the SO2 data from SACS and dedicated maps are delivered to the GlobVolcano project (2007-2010)
GlobVolcano Project aims at demonstrating EO based integrated services to support the Volcanological Observatories and other mandate users in their monitoring activities. EO based information services will be related to the responsibility areas of user organisations and particular emphasis will be addressed to prevention and early warning.

Activities of SACS are closely related to the SAVAA project (2008-2011).
SAVAA will set up a demonstration system that will be able to ingest satellite data and meteorological wind fields, compute the injection height profile of volcanic emissions to produce a range of analysis fields of volcanic cloud.

Part of the SO2 data from SACS is going to used for validation tasks within the NOVAC project (2005-2010).
The main objective of NOVAC is to establish a network for measurements of the emissions of gases -- in particular SO2 and BrO -- and aerosols by volcanoes, and to use the data from this network for risk assessment and volcanological research, both locally and on a regional and global scale.

Part of the SO2 data from SACS is used for validation tasks in the AMFIC project (2007-2009).
AMFIC addresses atmospheric environmental monitoring over China. The aim is to develop an integrated information system for monitoring and forecasting tropospheric pollutants over China, using satellite and in situ air quality measurements and modelling.
