Zarr is a key component of the Pangeo ecosystem and instrumental for effectively accessing and processing multi-dimensional Earth data in cloud-based systems. More and more leading satellite data providers are exploring the transition of their data archives to a cloud environment.
As part of the ESA Copernicus Earth Observation Processor Framework (EOPF), ESA is in the process of providing access to “live” sample data from the Copernicus Sentinel missions -1, -2 and -3 in the new Zarr data format. This set of reprocessed data allows users to try out accessing and processing data in the new format and experiencing the benefits thereof with their own workflows.
To help Sentinel data users to experience and adopt the new data format, a set of resources called the Sentinels EOPF Toolkit is being developed. Development Seed, SparkGeo and thriveGEO, together with a group of champion users (early-adopters), are creating a set of Jupyter Notebooks, plug-ins and libraries that showcase the use of Sentinel data in Zarr for applications across multiple domains for different user communities, including users of Python, Julia, R and QGIS.
This presentation will give a demo of the first set of notebooks and plugins of the Sentinels EOPF toolkit that were developed and that facilitate the adoption of the Zarr data format for Copernicus Sentinel data users. Additionally, we will give an overview of toolkit developments and community activities that are planned throughout the project period.
