Data USE COVE Tool Brian Killough* of the CEOS Systems Engineering Office gave a presentation on the status of the CEOS Visualization Environment (COVE) tool, a browser-based suite of tools for searching, analyzing and visualizing actual and potential satellite sensor coverage. COVE now includes 131 missions and is linked to several mission archives to get metadata and browse images for past acquired data: Landsat, SPOT, Pleaides, Radarsat-2, ALOS-1, TerraSAR-X, Sentinel-1, CBERS-4, and ResourceSAT. Brian gave a demonstration of the Coverage Analyzer, a new tool for acquisition reports and links to data ordering. Brian reported on the two actions from WGISS43 for COVE, saying that they have created a document that lists the missions and instruments for which they collect metadata and the specific pieces of data they acquire. They are waiting to resolve an issue with DLR before finalizing the document and a copy has been sent to WGISS. They have also added CBERS-4 and ResourceSAT -2 to COVE. These are available for actual acquisitions display and in the Coverage Analyzer CBERS-4 only has scene IDs and polygon boundaries. Brian requested continued support to maintain and expand the connections from mission archives to the COVE tool; to develop an approach for on-demand Data Cube creation using cloud-based (e.g. AWS), mirror site (e.g. USGS, ASF), or other data sites (e.g. Copernicus Services) for discovery, processing, and ingesting of Data Cubes to support global users. Brian also requested WGISS support to help the SEO evaluate WCS/WMS approaches for web-based Data Cube connections using OGC standards. Custom solutions and a Geoserver are being considered as options. The SEO also requested help to evaluate file format options for enhanced compression and processing functions to support Data Cubes.
