As I have no clue about #RemoteSensing and have a background in CS, I am wondering what good books/lectures to read and all other learning material.
What is possible, where are we, what are typical applications.
NVDI, NWDI, SAR etc pp
Assume no prior knowledge and an interest in #satellite data.
Happy for advanced stuff with "read later, after you are familiar with concept X,Y,Z"
Do NOT assume knowing stuff like nadir.
I truly feel there is a need for a standardized calibration system to produce color images from satellites that are true to human color perception. This is absolute standard behavior for a DSLR or even your phone camera, but too often neglected in scientific imaging.

Every now and again I pan slightly further north when looking at the visual spectrum images, just to check if there is a Kármán vortex street by Jan Mayen. This one was acquired by #sentinel3 on the 28th of September 😍
📢 OGC is seeking public comment on the adoption of openEO as a Community Standard. openEO aims to increase the interoperability of processing “big EO data” (e.g. satellite imagery) in the cloud by defining a simple an unified API. https://bit.ly/49pZaDE #OGC#standard#EarthObservation#openEO
Smoke from the Canadian forest fires traveling eastward towards Greenland and Iceland as seen by the AIRS instrument onboard the #Aqua#NASA satellite. These images show carbon monoxide at the 500 hPa level. Units are part per billion by volume.
People in #gischat#EarthObservation and #RemoteSensing what are the best satellite products to follow smoke likes this besides the above. Aerosol depth perhaps?
At the #ESSI meeting today, a scientist pointed out how pitifully few #EarthObservation satellites there are compared to the tens of thousands of "communications" satellites (mostly #starlink) and how backwards that is.
Partly we're playing catch up, but really, as scientists we don't need so many simple comms satellites... Our applications do not require we pollute the night sky.
Come work with us at @developmentseed as a Cloud Engineer! You'll be developing tools to handle lots of 🌎 Earth Observation data, manage ☁️ cloud infrastructure, and work with open source 🤗
Nice to have is some familiarity with cloud-native formats like @zarr, Cloud-optimized GeoTIFF, GeoParquet, etc (or a willingness to pick them up)!
We're pleased to share our latest work, published in Earth Science Informatics: "OpenEOcubes: an open-source and lightweight R-based RESTful web service for analyzing earth observation data cubes". This work is now accessible as an open-access document
