Copernicus and Sentinel data at your fingertips

A major update has been introduced to the WEkEO data viewer, transforming how users interact with and analyse Earth Observation data. The platform now supports time series visualisation, offering a dynamic way to retrieve and display temporal data for selected locations directly from the viewer.

WEkEO’s EOCanvas is a new serverless function designed to support the processing of all Copernicus Earth Observation (EO) data directly within the cloud, enabling users to perform operations without downloading vast datasets. This serverless capability is built on WEkEO's Harmonized Data Access (HDA) API, simplifying the use of Earth Observation data from the Copernicus programme to monitor environmental variables.

A new feature enables WEkEO users to visualise remotely stored data cubes directly on the WEkEO Jupyter Hub, further expanding the value proposition of WEkEO. The xcube Viewer app, fully integrated into WEkEO’s Jupyter Hub environment, allows to visualize and explore climate and environmental Earth Observation data, as well as generating meaningful insights through time series and spatial analysis.

WEkEO is delighted to announce the launch of the Copernicus WEkEO Innovation Lab. This initiative aims to foster innovation and research by providing free cloud computing resources to users who undertake projects using Copernicus data. The Lab seeks to engage researchers and various users who devise innovative uses of Copernicus data for societal, environmental, and economic benefits. WEkEO encourages the submission of original and interdisciplinary projects that hold great potential for the benefit of society at large.
