This article aims to provide a tour of satellite missions for Coastal Hazards Monitoring, of relevant applications, as well as the downstream International Services such as the Copernicus Ocean and Land Monitoring Services. Earth observation (EO) satellite remote sensing provides global, repetitive and long-term observations with increasing resolution with every new generation of sensors. They permit the monitoring of small-scale signals like the ones impacting the coastal zone. EO missions are showcased in this article. Transforming the data products based on the satellite mission ground segment (usually called geophysical products, geophysical data records or so-called Level 2 products) into information useable by managers and decision-makers is done by downstream international services. This is an essential step to increase the uptake of satellite data for the benefit of society. Here, the type of services provided by, e.g., the European Copernicus Programme, is described along with examples of applications, such as monitoring storm surges.

用于沿海灾害监测和国际服务的地球观测：欧洲视角

本文旨在提供沿海灾害监测卫星任务、相关应用以及下游国际服务（如哥白尼海洋和陆地监测服务）的导览。地球观测 (EO) 卫星遥感提供全球性、重复性和长期观测，并且每一代传感器的分辨率都在不断提高。它们允许监测小规模信号，例如影响沿海地区的信号。本文展示了 EO 任务。将基于卫星任务地面段的数据产品（通常称为地球物理产品、地球物理数据记录或所谓的二级产品）转化为管理者和决策者可用的信息由下游国际服务完成。这是增加卫星数据为社会造福的重要步骤。此处，描述了由例如欧洲哥白尼计划提供的服务类型以及应用示例，例如监测风暴潮。
