Satellite Eye for Galathea 3 is a project funded by Egmont Fonden and the participating institutes – Risø DTU, DTU Space, ESA Eduspace, Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen, GRAS and DMI - in the period 2006 to 2008. During the Galathea 3 expedition around 10.000 satellite images were collected along the entire route. The expedition took place from 11th August 2006 to 25th April 2007. The satellite images were shown in near-real-time on Google Earth along with near-real-time ship observations. Based on the satellite images, the ship observations and through collaboration with many Galathea 3 research projects educational material for upper secondary schools were being prepared. A total of 41 educational projects were being developed. Most of this information was published at EMU, the Danish portal for schools during 2007 in Danish and English. In addition, a satellite image with a short text was published each week at the homepage www.satelliteeye.dk . During 2007 the Satellite Eye team jointly with Nature & science prepared an educational film ‘Satellite Eye – Galathea 3 fra rummet’. This work is funded by The Danish Ministry of Education, Tips- og Lottopuljen. The film will be sent to upper secondary schools along with the Satellite Living Atlas. The latter will consist of the 40 weekly images and a series of satellite image animations that shows our living Earth from space., Satellite Eye for Galathea 3 is a project funded by Egmont Fonden and the participating institutes – Risø DTU, DTU Space, ESA Eduspace, Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen, GRAS and DMI - in the period 2006 to 2008.

The Satellite Eye for Galathea 3 project started on the 10th March 2006, i.e. five months prior to the Galathea 3 expedition that departed from Copenhagen on the 12th August 2006. The expedition lasted in total 256 days (8 months), and the Satelitte Eye project continued working another 1 year and 8 months after the arrival of the expedition on the 24th April 2007. Egmont Fonden kindly supported the Satellite Eye project with 3.890.551 DKK in the period from the 10th March 2006 to the 31st December 2008. The Satellite Eye project team consisted of Risø DTU (coordinator), DTU Space, the Danish Meteorological Institute, the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, the company GRAS, the company Edugis, and ESA Eduspace – the educational group at the European Space Agency. The objective of the Satellite Eye for Galathea 3 project was to enable a systematic pre-ordering, recording, archiving, data handling and distribution of satellite Earth Observation images for science and education along the track of Galathea 3. The objective is fulfilled. The satellite images have been collected and archived at http://galathea.dtu.dk/GE.html Around 40 educational projects have been developed and published. During the expedition, projects were published in Danish and in English at the Danish educational web EMU until the end of year 2007. In year 2008, all the projects have been finalized and published at the new web page http://www.virtuelgalathea3.dk only available in Danish. Links to the 40 projects in Danish are given in table 3.2. Links to the 21 projects in English are given in table 3.4. The final report is divided into three chapters: before, during and after the Galathea 3 expedition.

MODIS data are compared to NOAA AVHRR for derivation of bio-physical parameters in the semi-arid Senegal, West Africa. The dynamic range of the two MODIS Vegetation Indices CVI and EVI is generally much larger than for the corresponding NOAA AVHRR NDVI data. Correlation analyses show that the two MODIS indices correlate better than it is the case for MODIS CVI/NOAA AVHRR NDVI. The MODIS CVI correlates better to the MODIS fAPAR than the MODIS EVI/MODIS fAPAR. This indicates that MODIS CVI is related to the bio-physical parameter fAPAR while MODIS EVI relates to LAI which is important when modelling the Net primary production.
