2 Improved monitoring and forecasting of ecological status of European INland waters by combining Future earth ObseRvation data and Models

3 Main objectives To develop and demonstrate new and improved userdriven products for inland water quality monitoring and forecasting by combining water quality models and EO data which fully exploits the improved spectral, spatial and temporal capabilities of new and upcoming EO missions like Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3 and hyperspectral EO missions like EnMAP and PRISMA. To provide recommendations for future EO missions taking into account requirements for inland water quality monitoring.

4 Satellite missions Sentinel-2A (launched 23 June 2015, images available) Sentinel-2B (launched 7 March 2017) ESA P. Carrill Sentinel-3 (launched 16 February 2016, images available) EnMAP ( ?) PRISMA ( ?) EnMAP ESA PJ. Huart ASI
