Building the next European cloud for Earth observation

One of the most frequently heard phrases in Earth Observation is “bringing the algorithms to the data”. Given the increasingly large datasets provided by Sentinel satellites and Copernicus services, platforms are emerging that do just that: helping users run their processing chains as close as possible to the data they need — no need to wait for huge downloads before even starting.

Lobelia collaborates with Mercator Océan International aiding Earth Observation users to get the most out of WEkEO, the Data and Information Access Services (DIAS) platform developed by EUMETSAT, ECMWF and Mercator itself. Lobelia is also deeply involved in monitoring the various services, as well as gathering feedback for the next releases of the platform.
