Technology for designing tools for the process and analysis of data from very large scale distributed satellite archives

详细

The rapid increase in the volume of Earth satellite observation data over recent years makes more necessary the problem of developing new technologies for effective data search, selection, and processing within very large constantly updated distributed archives. The paper describes the features of such technologies developed at the Space Research Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS). These techniques provide the design of various data processing tools for satellite data analysis with the use of distributed computing resources of remote sensing data processing and archiving centers. Advantages and capabilities of the approaches suggested are described, as well as examples of implemented tools for distributed processing of data from various satellite remote sensing systems. The examples given show the capabilities of using the tools for the analysis of various atmospheric and ocean surface phenomena.
