The Cloud: Obstacles and Barrier Encountered By Users

Increasing exposure to and adoption of the Earthdata Cloud yields new concerns from users include: financial resource allotment, steep learning curves, institutional support, and cloud-readiness of data. We present common concerns expressed by early cloud adopters, and encourage conference-goers to relay their own or users's experiences. We also encourage brainstorming for how open science principles can help solve some of the barriers and obstacles users encounter with the cloud.

How GES DISC is Opening Doors to Open Science

The NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) is one of 12 NASA Earth Observing System data centers that document, process, archive, and distribute data from Earth science missions and related projects. GES DISC hosts numerous Earth Science products through various data formats and supports their access with several programming and website tools. The User Needs team at GES DISC is responsible for producing tutorials and resources to teach these tools, collecting and engaging with user feedback, and collaborating with other NASA data centers to enable science creation for everyone. This poster presentation outlines how GES DISC, and the User Needs team, are committed to enabling open science.

Developing a Cloud-Based ArcGIS Image Service for TROPOMI Level 2 Data: Preprocessing, Transformation, and Publication

TROPOMI, the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument aboard the Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite, provides high spatiotemporal resolution atmospheric measurements. It is essential for monitoring air quality, greenhouse gases, and other trace gases. Integrating TROPOMI Level 2 data into an ArcGIS Image Service marks a significant advancement in the accessibility and utility of satellite-derived environmental information for GIS applications. This paper details the methodology for building an ArcGIS Image Service tailored to handle TROPOMI Level 2 data, with a focus on preprocessing, transformation, and cloud-based publication. The workflow utilizes Python and ArcPy for data reformatting, reprojection, and updating, ensuring efficient processing and cloud-based notifications. By establishing a robust pipeline, the ArcGIS Image Service provides real-time access to TROPOMI Level 2 data, enabling users to visualize, analyze, and interpret atmospheric phenomena effectively.
