EarthServer Climate Data Service integrated at the European Space Agency

Bremen, November 2013. The EarthServer Climate Data Service has been successfully integrated at the European Space Agency: a powerful hardware infrastructure consisting of 40CPUs and 120GB RAM hosts the subsystems to handle EO products and model data.

Atmosphere and Climate products collected within the EarthServer project http://www.earthserver.eu as well as EO products provided by the European Space Agency, are presently accessible through the Multi-sensor Evolution Analysis (MEA) platform. The EarthServer platform runs rasdaman as its enabling analytics engine. The detailed list of EO products and model data is available at https://mea.eo.esa.int/data_availability.html.

Single Sign On (SSO) technology is used to authenticate and login in to the MEA system.

MEA provides to users the following functionalities:

• Real time data access and visualization (time series display)
• Data comparison (e.g. same variable from different data sources)
• On-the-fly data analysis (extraction of statistical parameters)
