Env. monitoring software

How should it look like?

How should it look like?

  • Easy accessible from everywhere → web application
  • User-oriented and UX-focused
  • Extensible (should be easy to add more data)

Main challenge is

the variery of

Products

  • Scatterometer
  • SAR
  • Radiometry
  • Altimetry
  • Optical
  • Model

Formats

  • Binary
  • ASCII
  • NetCDF
  • HDF
  • GRIB
  • ...

and also

  • Spatial resolutions
  • Spatial coverages
  • Temporal coverages

What do we need to build
an environmental monitoring
software?

A single entry point

to search and access data

(at first).

Satin

Our ocean remote sensing data catalog

Over 30 pre-selected products of sea surface temperature, sea ice concentration, scatterometer wind, altimetry and other.

satin catalog

The catalog provides

  • Clear UI for beginners
  • Long time series of measurements
    including today's measurements
  • RESTful API for data search
  • Standardized data access via OPeNDAP servers

Granule info

Alright,
We have data.

Actually
A lot of data...

But with different
resolution and coverage.

How to show them together?

Put all data on a map

Yet it is not so simple:

  1. Retrieve requested timespan of data
  2. Apply masks and perform parameters correction
  3. Reproject data
  4. Choose palette and visualization strategy
  5. Create tiles

What's next?

  • Analysis
  • Monitoring

Now we need metadata

"Alexandria"

So we have huge amount of services

We need to monitor them

"Odyssey"

Odyssey Dashboard

Odyssey Arrivals Manager

Odyssey Overview

  • Monitor downloading and processing of data
  • Alert system
  • Event log

Architecture overview

Plans

  • Automatic data analysis
  • Forecasts
  • More interactions with map
