The DATA-TERRA Research Infrastructure : from data to services for integrated use of environmental data under the scope of success interdisciplinary achievements

The consequences of global change on the Earth system are multiple such as increase in air temperature and sea level, stronger weather events, impacts on ecosystem biodiversity and natural hazards. But the detection of changes and impacts is still difficult because of the diversity and variability of the Earth environments (oceans, land surfaces, atmosphere, solid Earth). While there has been a clear increase in the number of environmental observations, whether by in situ, laboratory or remote sensing measurements, each data is both costly to acquire and unique. The number and variety of data acquisition techniques require efficient methods of improving data availability via interoperable portals, which facilitate data sharing according to FAIR principles for producers and users.

In this context, DATA-TERRA Research Infrastructure (RI) for Earth data, is the entry point to access all the French environmental observation data. As a digital infrastructure, DATA-TERRA works closely with Earth Observation research infrastructures and space agencies. It is backed by a continuum of distributed and interconnected platforms, proposing services that span the full data cycle from access to value-added processing, thus enabling the exploitation of large volumes of data - notably satellite data- and the generation of information through advanced on-demand and systematic processing services. At national, European and international levels, it is advancing the development of open science, implementation of FAIR* approaches, contributing to space missions and applications and to the initiative to generate digital twins of the Earth.

The objective of this talk is to present the DATA-TERRA strategy atmosphere data and products from space to Erath, in the domain of marine sciences (ODATIS Data hub), continental surfaces sciences (THEIA), atmospheric sciences (AERIS), solid Earth science (FormaTerre), and ecological science (PNDB). DATA-TERRA relies on several scientific consortia in order to promote and develop innovative processing methods and products with a focus on success interdisciplinary achievements.
