From Data to Insight: Interactive Earth Observation Workflows with xcube
Konstantin Ntokas, Clara Backens, and Pontus Lurcock of Brockmann Consult, GmbH
Abstract: Earth Observation (EO) data offer vast potential for monitoring and understanding environmental processes, yet accessing and analyzing heterogeneous data from multiple sources can be challenging. xcube is an open-source Python toolkit that has been developed to simplify typical Earth Science workflows with EO data. It contains several data stores for accessing diverse, geographical datasets from multiple sources and converting them into self-contained, analysis-ready data cubes (ARDCs). These ARDCs can be explored interactively through the xcube Viewer web application, which provides intuitive visualization, time series analysis, and on-the-fly computations for selected variables or regions. The Viewer relies on the xcube Server as a backend, which disseminates the created ARDCs via standard RESTful and OGC-compliant APIs. In this webinar, we will demonstrate an end-to-end workflow from the water domain: acquiring data from multiple sources, harmonizing and converting them into ARDCs, and exploring them interactively in the xcube Viewer. Participants will learn how xcube streamlines the workflow from raw Earth Observation data to actionable results, showcasing its powerful visualization and analysis capabilities for both research and operational applications.
