Scientific Council Meeting at the Nansen Center, 28 Nov 2014

Challenges with remote sensing data usage

1. «Complex data» challenge: Complicate to open and process a dataset

2. «Big data» challenge: Expensive to download, store and process

many dataset

3. «Heterogeneous data»: Difficult to find a relevant dataset

Challenge #1How to open and process a dataset ?

Scientist friendly Python toolbox for processing 2D satellite earth observation data.

The main goal is to facilitate:

•easy development and testing of scientific algorithms,•easy analysis of geospatial data, and•efficient operational processing.

Example of Nansat application


Details of Nansat application


1. Open MODIS dataset2. Process MODIS data with a SSS algorithm3. Export SSS data as netCDF file

4. Open netCDF local file with SSS5. Access online surface currents thought OpenDAP6. Collocate SSS and U/V7. Generate a nice-looking map:
