SYTYKE is SYKE's Digital service's internal project, which develops solutions for the modernization of environmental information management and the development of information resources and information systems. Modernization of Tarkka is one of SYTYKE's subprojects. The framework, data model and the user interface design of the Tarkka service were implemented within SYTYKE. These will bootstrap and streamline the developmental work of the Tarkka service.

BalticAIMS was a project of the Baltic+ program funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), which aims to demonstrate the use of satellite observations for maritime spatial planning together with other geospatial data and in situ observations. Summer and autumn 2022 were the piloting periods of the project, during which new materials and functionalities will be added to Tarkka. Please find more information about the available datasets here. Other project partners were Brockmann Consult (BC) and Brockmann Geomatics Sweden (BG).

 

 

The CorEO project was funded by VM's robotics program that focused on enhancing environmental monitoring by automating the processing of satellite observations. In the CorEO project, the Gallery section was developed, where the areas of particular interest and cloudless observations are highlighted.

 

 

Arctic PASSION project funded the development of the Lake ice service within Tarkka. The project is an innovative pan-Arctic Observation and Monitoring action that rises to the challenges of climate change. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action programme.

 

 

The MAAMERI project was a YM-funded Water Protection Improvement Program project, the main theme of which was to strengthen the knowledge base for improving the state of coastal waters in the Archipelago Sea area. During the MAAMERI project, Tarkka has developed, among other things accurate surface temperature data (updated to Tarkka in 2021) supplemented by new reference stations for the Archipelago Sea, through which a series of satellite observation time periods will be developed throughout the project and in the future.

  • River basin impact data (updated to Tarkka in 2022)

  • During the last year of the project, turbidity-phosphorus data based in part on satellite observations will also be developed.

  • The project also makes comparisons from different observation sources, such as large-scale field sampling, flow-through measurements, and satellite observations.

 

 

WQeMS was an international EU Horizon 2020 funded project. In Finland, the project focuses on providing satellite and in situ observations of water quality from Lake Pien-Saimaa. Data measured by the automatic station is also included. The observations are published through the Tarkka+ service. See here for more information. The main website of the project is here. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action programme under Grant Agreement No 101004157.
