CHIME patch

Carrying a unique spectrometer, the Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for the Environment, CHIME, delivers systematic high-resolution hyperspectral images to improve agricultural practices and natural resources management. This new Copernicus mission is used to monitor the biophysical and biochemical properties of crops, and the texture and organic content of topsoil. CHIME can also be used for forest management, and to monitor inland water bodies and coastal ecosystems.
