Valéncia
Country:
Spain
Description:
EUMETSAT operate the <b>Copernicus Sentinel-3</b> mission and are responsible for the generation and dissemination of marine products, including those from the multi-spectral <b>Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI)</b> sensor. We also offer a number of tools for managing and processing multi- and hyperspectral in situ radiometry data for the purposes of ocean colour validation. During this 4-hour training event we will demonstrate how to access our data, and give an overview of some of these tools. We will cover;
* Programmatic access to Copernicus Sentinel-3 OLCI data, using <a href="https://gitlab.eumetsat.int/eumetl…">EUMDAC</a> and the <a href="https://data.eumetsat.int/">EUMETSAT Data Store</a>
* How to format data for, and submit data to, the Copernicus Ocean Colour Database (<a href="https://ocdb.readthedocs.io/en/lat…">OCDB</a>)
* An overview of the <a href="https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PAN…">GLORIA</a> hyperspectral in situ data base
* How to use the <a href="https://gitlab.eumetsat.int/eumetl…">ThoMaS</a> match-up toolkit to validate OLCI multi-spectral ocean colour products in OCDB/SeaBass format in situ data
* Provide an overview and demonstration of the <a href="https://github.com/nasa/HyperCP">FRM4SOC Hyper CP processor</a>
The tutorial will provide examples of how to work with our data using open-source Python packages and freely shareable Jupyter Notebooks. In addition, we will outline future EUMETSAT training opportunities in 2024 and beyond, and provide a platform for an open discussion on any facet of EUMETSAT ocean colour data.
Targeted Audience:
The tutorial is open to all EARSeL workshop attendees, but would particularly benefit;
* marine remote sensing scientists interested in ocean colour product validation
* researchers and field scientists conducting either multi- or hyperspectral in situ radiometry measurements
