The surge in the number of earth observation satellites being launched worldwide is placing significant pressure on the satellite-direct ground receiving stations that are responsible for systematic data acquisition, processing, archiving, and dissemination of earth observation data. Growth in the number of satellite sensors has a bearing on the ground segment payload data processing systems due to the complexity, volume, and variety of the data emanating from the different sensors. In this paper, we have aimed to present a generic, multi-mission, modularized payload data processing system that we are implementing to optimize satellite data processing from historical and current sensors, directly received at the South African National Space Agency’s (SANSA) ground receiving station. We have presented the architectural framework for the multi-mission processing system, which is comprised of five processing modules, i.e., the data ingestion module, a radiometric and geometric processing module, atmospheric correction and Analysis Ready Data (ARD) module, Value Added Products (VAPS) module, and lastly, a packaging and delivery module. Our results indicate that the open architecture, multi-mission processing system, when implemented, eliminated the bottlenecks linked with proprietary mono-mission systems. The customizable architecture enabled us to optimize our processing in line with our hardware capacities, and that resulted in significant gains in large-scale image processing efficiencies. The modularized, multi-mission data processing enabled seamless end-to-end image processing, as demonstrated by the capability of the multi-mission system to execute geometric and radiometric corrections to the extent of making it analysis-ready. The processing workflows were highly scalable and enabled us to generate higher-level thematic information products from the ingestion of raw data.

The paper describes a new tool called JupyTEP integrated development environment (IDE), which is an online integrated development environment for earth observation data processing available in the cloud. This work is a result of the project entitled “JupyTEP IDE—Jupyter-based IDE as an interactive and collaborative environment for the development of notebook style EO algorithms on network of exploitation platforms infrastructure” carried out in cooperation with European Space Agency. The main goal of this project was to provide a universal earth observation data processing tool to the community. JupyTEP IDE is an extension of Jupyter software ecosystem with customization of existing components for the needs of earth observation scientists and other professional and non-professional users. The approach is based on configuration, customization, adaptation, and extension of Jupyter, Jupyter Hub, and Docker components on earth observation data cloud infrastructure in the most flexible way; integration with accessible libraries and earth observation data tools (sentinel application platform (SNAP), geospatial data abstraction library (GDAL), etc.); adaptation of existing web processing service (WPS)-oriented earth observation services. The user-oriented product is based on a web-related user interface in the form of extended and modified Jupyter user interface (frontend) with customized layout, earth observation data processing extension, and a set of predefined notebooks, widgets, and tools. The final IDE is addressed to the remote sensing experts and other users who intend to develop Jupyter notebooks with the reuse of embedded tools, common WPS interfaces, and existing notebooks. The paper describes the background of the system, its architecture, and possible use cases.

AbstractThe air–sea flux of greenhouse gases [e.g., carbon dioxide (CO2)] is a critical part of the climate system and a major factor in the biogeochemical development of the oceans. More accurate and higher-resolution calculations of these gas fluxes are required if researchers are to fully understand and predict future climate. Satellite Earth observation is able to provide large spatial-scale datasets that can be used to study gas fluxes. However, the large storage requirements needed to host such data can restrict its use by the scientific community. Fortunately, the development of cloud computing can provide a solution. This paper describes an open-source air–sea CO2 flux processing toolbox called the “FluxEngine,” designed for use on a cloud-computing infrastructure. The toolbox allows users to easily generate global and regional air–sea CO2 flux data from model, in situ, and Earth observation data, and its air–sea gas flux calculation is user configurable. Its current installation on the Nephalae Cloud allows users to easily exploit more than 8 TB of climate-quality Earth observation data for the derivation of gas fluxes. The resultant netCDF data output files contain >20 data layers containing the various stages of the flux calculation along with process indicator layers to aid interpretation of the data. This paper describes the toolbox design, which verifies the air–sea CO2 flux calculations; demonstrates the use of the tools for studying global and shelf sea air–sea fluxes; and describes future developments.
