Development of an Earth Observation Cloud Platform in Support to Water Resources Monitoring

Multi-decadal data sets are already available from various types of EO sensors, but their effective exploitation is hindered by the lack of data centres which offer dedicated EO processing chains and high-performance processing (HPC) capabilities. Recognizing this need, TU Wien founded the EODC Earth Observation Data Centre for Water Resources Monitoring which aims at providing an independent science-driven platform that is transparent for its users and offers a high diversity and flexibility in terms of data sets and algorithms used.
