UK فضا Agency will support two new projects. The first envisages using satellite to monitor and map heat in locations at greatest risk from تغییر آب و هوا. Development of a prototype Climate Risk Index tool (CRISP) is the second project that is aimed at delivering risk assessments based on satellite and climate data to help the financial sector provide vital insurance products.
آخرین پیش بینی آب و هوا در بریتانیا نشان می دهد که تابستان گرمی مانند سال 2018 احتمالاً تا سال 2050 یک سال در میان رخ می دهد، تا آن زمان تعداد مرگ و میرهای ناشی از گرما در غیاب سازگاری بیشتر از سطح امروزی بیش از سه برابر می شود. از حدود 2,000 در سال تا حدود 7,000. حدود 1.2 میلیارد نفر در سراسر جهان ممکن است تا سال 2100 در سطوح فعلی گرمایش جهانی با شرایط استرس گرمایی مواجه شوند.
نظارت و نقشه برداری گرما در مکان هایی که بیشترین خطر را دارند در این زمینه ضروری است. اینجاست که داده های ماهواره ها به کار می آیند.
UK فضا Agency is going to support two new projects towards this that will provide decision-makers with vital information to help deal with the effects of تغییر آب و هوا and improve lives around the world.
The first project is a collaboration between the National Centre for زمین Observation (NCEO) and Ordnance Survey (OS), which will provide meaningful insights for policy-makers to manage the impacts of تغییر آب و هوا in نقاط داغ در سراسر بریتانیا و فراتر از آن. Using NCEO land surface temperature data derived from thermal infra-red sensors in فضا, OS will then help customers understand and identify how the data can be applied effectively.
La زمین observation data used in the pilot will indicate extreme events and locations that may show greater risk to human health, such as cities where heat stress is a particular concern. By providing easier and better access to insightful evidence through the pilot and through working with the Office for National Statistics, the UK public sector will be able to tackle تغییر آب و هوا more effectively with accurate data from فضا.
Satellite observations of land surface temperatures, and their change, are increasingly recognised as being able to provide unique and detailed knowledge to better facilitate the understanding of تغییر آب و هوا and thus to inform planning and ‘climate-adaptive’ policies to deal with extreme events, such as heatwaves.
توسعه یک نمونه اولیه ابزار شاخص ریسک آب و هوا (CRISP) is the second project that UK فضا Agency will support that will see Telespazio UK collaborate with Assimila. This project will deliver risk assessments based on satellite and اقلیم data to help the insurance sector provide vital financial products to those at risk from droughts and wildfires.
Using climate data from an ensemble of climate project models, historical reanalysis and زمین Observation data the prototype will focus on two examples – agricultural drought and wildfires – to show insurance companies how to use the data in their own assessments to benefit the finance sector.
CRISP بر اساس کار گروه وظیفه افشای ریسک آب و هوای Space4Climate (S4C) است. کار S4C قابلیت فنی اساسی را برای تعیین شاخص های آب و هوا - بر اساس شناسایی مداوم رویدادهای آب و هوایی شدید و تغییرات در سطح دریا derived from different long-term data records of زمین Observation and اقلیم re-analysis datasets.
