GeoVille
EODC was the first operational big EO data processing center dedicated to the storage of global Sentinel-1 data as well as provision of fully automatic, continuous S-1 based processing services.
In this regard, the company has a lead advance of some 5 years of hands-on operation experience as compared to any other Sentinel processing facilities or the Copernicus DIAS’s.
Since 2018 EODC is a federation partner of the WEkEO Dias. Important for the GFM group leader, EODC has project implementation experience for both Copernicus Global Land Services and for operational JRC service projects (e.g. C-GLOPS1, C-GLOPS2).
Moreover, EODC currently leads the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) activity “Land hydrology and cryosphere” (C3S 312b Lot4), and the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) “Soil Moisture” activity.
The envisaged GFM processing and data access system will be set up based on lessons learned by EODC and GeoVille e.g. from Global Sentinel-1 Soil Moisture Service, the Sentinel2 Global Mosaic Service, the HRL Water&Wetness and the CLC+DIAS-based processing setups (WEkEO, Mundi), and other cloud based applications (e.g. on AWS, EODC, CODE-DE, private clouds).
Both partners have had the requirements for fast Sentinel-1 data access, implemented cutting-edge techniques (e.g. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, et c.) along with latest storage technologies within easily portable, scalable Sentinel based monitoring systems, providing blueprints for most efficient technology utilization for the GFM product.
