PLATFORM MISSION & VISION

Nimbus Earth

Satellite Intelligence Platform

Nimbus Earth is a satellite intelligence platform built to serve those who manage the land, water, and forest — delivering decision-grade intelligence from open Copernicus satellite data across multiple sectors. OPAL is the live agricultural module: crop health, soil moisture, pasture intelligence, and irrigation scheduling, from a single field to a whole estate, even offline. PEARL (aquaculture intelligence) and a Forestry module are in active development — applying the same satellite infrastructure to fish farming, shellfish production, and managed woodland.

DATA INFRASTRUCTURE

FROM SPACE TO FIELD

Real Sentinel satellite imagery on every cloud-free orbit pass — processed, indexed, and delivered directly into the field view.

SENTINEL-1 — SAR Radar All-weather soil moisture through cloud and dust
SENTINEL-2 — Multispectral 13-band optical at 10 m · NDVI, NDRE, NDMI, EVI, NDWI, BSI
OPEN-METEO — Weather FAO-56 evapotranspiration & climate zone classification

OPAL — LIVE NOW

WHAT OPAL DELIVERS

Driven by live satellite data. Every reading is honest — data-quality badges, confidence states, and "insufficient data" notices rather than fabricated numbers.

  • 01

    Spectral Health & Soil Indices

    NDVI, NDRE, NDMI, EVI, NDWI, BSI per field — with a 12-month cloud-masked history and per-acquisition quality badges. Radar-derived soil moisture from Sentinel-1 sees through cloud cover.

  • 02

    FAO-56 Irrigation Scheduling

    Water-balance scheduling from crop coefficient × evapotranspiration − rainfall. Output: "irrigate X mm in Y days." Soil-aware, with structured records for method, fertigation, and flow-rate calculation.

  • 03

    Pasture & Grazing Intelligence

    Standing biomass (kg DM/ha), forage budget, grazing-day estimates, and a two-signal overgrazing alert that distinguishes herd pressure from regional drought.

  • 04

    Terrain-Aware Soil Analysis

    Nine polygon-masked overlay layers per field — elevation, slope, topographic wetness, drainage risk, salinity risk, and a composite Soil Stability Index. Tap any point to inspect the value at that location.

PLATFORM VISION

NIMBUS EARTH ROADMAP

OPAL is live and deepening — ongoing calibration, expanded crop coverage, and Arabic language support ship continuously. PEARL and Forestry are in active development, applying the same Copernicus infrastructure to aquaculture and managed woodland.
