Data Cube

"The Australian Geoscience Data Cube provides an integrated gridded data analysis environment for decades of analysis ready earth observation satellite and related data from multiple satellite and other acquisition systems.

In 2014, Geoscience Australia, CSIRO and the NCI established the Australian Geoscience Data Cube, building on earlier work of Geoscience Australia and expanding it to include additional earth observation satellite and other gridded data collections (e.g. MODIS, DEM) in order to expand the range of integrated data analysis capabilities that were available. The complete software stack and petabytes of EO are deployed at the NCI petascale computing facility for use by NCI users.

The Data Cube is a system designed to:

• Catalogue large amounts of Earth Observation data
• Provide a Python based API for high performance querying and data access
• Give scientists and other users easy ability to perform Exploratory Data Analysis
• Allow scalable continent scale processing of the stored data
• Track the providence of all the contained data to allow for quality control and updates

The current AGDC v2 implementation is intended as a working prototype for a cohesive, sustainable framework for large-scale multidimensional data management for geoscientific data. This public development release is intended to foster broader collaboration on the design and implementation. It is not intended for operational use.
