AIMS - Earth Observation Satellite Data of Wave and Wind in the Tyrrhenian Sea

This dataset is part of the AIMS project (Artificial Intelligence to Monitor our Seas), which has the vision to develop and validate novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to unlock the true potential of remote monitoring and enable a faster transition to a climate neutral society and economy: the AI algorithms will leverage the advantages of usual monitoring methodologies of the features of waves and offshore wind, and eventually overcome their intrinsic limitations. The value and resolution of sparse measurements of satellites and unevenly-distributed in-situ instruments will be increased, hence leading to a significant reduction of the cost and execution time of data collection, ultimately making knowledge wider and more accessible.

In particular, this dataset aggregates earth observation satellite data from 10 different satellites, measureing the significant wave height and the wind speed at 10 meters above sea leavel in the Tyrrhenian Sea, from January 2021 to May 2024.
