Folium makes it easy to visualize data that’s been manipulated in Python on an interactive leaflet map.
As Google Earth Engine becomes popular in geoscience and data computation, there are a few things to consider before you dive in. This blog will highlight some of GEE's limitations and disadvantages. Importantly, Google Earth Engine is free only for non-commercial, non-production use. This means its sole purpose is to serve educational professionals, students, and nonprofit organizations.
There are several ways to use GEE and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. In this example, GEE is used for web mapping with Python Django.
Copernicus is the European Union's Earth Observation Programme, looking at our planet and its environment.
Sputnik 1 was the first satellite in space. The Soviet Union launched it in 1957.
The Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) is remote sensing-derived index estimating the leaf water content at the canopy level.
EVI is similar to the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and can be used to quantify vegetation greenness. However, EVI corrects for some atmospheric conditions and canopy background noise and is more sensitive in areas with dense vegetation.
NDSI is a measure of the relative magnitude of the reflectance difference between visible (green) and shortwave infrared (SWIR).
Extract Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) is a 30+ year quasi-global rainfall dataset using Google Earth engine API and convert it into. Excel and charts using Python Pandas data frame.
Is STAC the next big thing in remote sensing data, it certainly has the potential to play a significant role in the future of geospatial data management and analysis.
The surface of the Earth is continuously changing at many levels; local, regional, national, and global scales. Changes in land use and land cover are pervasive, rapid, and can have significant impacts on people, the economy, and the environment.
Discovery Patterns in Spatial data, extract potentially useful information from data stored in images, and visualize the result in dynamic charts.
Google Earth Engine (GEE) Tips provide a foundation to quickly begin learning and using GEE. If you are new to GEE, you will want to know small and handy tips.
Today many different indices exist and each one has its own significance in the study. Here are the most popular indices that be calculated from free data satellites.
The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index is a simple indicator of photosynthetically active biomass or, in layman’s terms, a calculation of vegetation health.
