Data accessible from eo-WIMEX
eo-WIMEX enables access to data from the European Space Agency and third-party providers, along with complementary data sources. This comprehensive approach ensures that all necessary data is readily available to support current and future wave interaction models.
Earth Observation Data
eo-WIMEX allows its models to interface with different EO data providers, offering access to data from various missions and processing levels, based on the requirements of each model. Examples include:
Through the eo-WIMEX command line interface, it is also possible to query the full catalogues offered by Creodias and the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem. This removes the need for local data downloads and management.
Complementary Data
eo-WIMEX also enables the access to various complementary data types, such as auxiliary data, in situ data and ad-hoc external datasets, to improve the accuracy and reliability of model outputs.
Look-Up Tables
eo-WIMEX supports generic Look-Up Tables (LUTs), which provide a highly structured approach for managing model inputs and outputs. This approach offers significant advantages, including dynamic flexibility, higher resolution and precision, scalability for large data volumes, and interactive data querying and visualization. These LUTs consolidate outputs from various model executions into a unique centralized structure, streamlining workflows and simplifying the integration of complex data into processing pipelines.
Satellite Imagery Datacubes
eo-WIMEX integrates the Open DataCube (ODC), an open-source geospatial data analysis framework. This enables seamless handling and analysis of large, multi-dimensional and multi-temporal geospatial data. With ODC, users can handle data in different formats, resolutions, time periods and spectral bands, from a single endpoint, transforming complex geospatial data management into an accessible process that even those without extensive technical expertise can navigate.
