DMCii supplies the Brazilian space agency (INPE) annually with full high resolution satellite imagery coverage of the Amazon Basin. INPE uses DMC satellite imagery to improve the annual estimate of Amzon basin deforestation. The imagery campaign focuses on achieving a full coverage in short imaging windows to achieve homogeneity of data for analysis. INPE selects DMC imagery as the specification is ideal for deforestation assesment and rapid revisit times and wide area coverage drastically reduces the impact of cloud cover common to tropcial rainforest regions.
