New #AGUpubs research by researchers at @JohnsHopkins @JHUArtsSciences and @MattiaAlmansi @bopensolutions.

Great to hear so much encouraging and constructive feedback on the existing C3S infrastructure this morning and excited for @alexamici presenting the modernised CDS which we are developing for @CopernicusECMWF

@alexamici from @bopensolutions deep dived into the goals of CADS 2.0 stressing that the most prominent improvements will include the catalogue usability via API & toolbox usability, as well as creating a real open platform to be used everywhere. CADS available 2023-Q4/2024-Q1

@CopernicusECMWF And now @alexamici presenting how the new CADS will be technically implemented

We've just released Sarsen v0.9.2! Highlights: massive performance improvements, the ability to terrain correct a full Sentinel-1 SAR product in one go and a detailed correctness analysis. The aim for the next release is a fully operational tool! Follow me and @bopensolutions

We've just release v2022.06.0! This release brings a major internal refactor of the indexing functionality (thanks @benbovy, @cziscience), the use of flox in groupby operations, and experimental support for the new Python Array API standard.

Time to announce the release of xarray-sentinel v0.9.2 to access Sentinel-1 products in Python via xarray! Highlights: full support of remote and compressed data via fsspec and new geospatial attributes. Shameless plug: we are hiring: bopen.eu/careers 🙏 retweet for reach!

There is an complimentary approach to building up big software institutes in universities: partnering with OSS dev shops like @anacondainc, @quansightai, @bopensolutions, @QuantStack, @makepathGIS, etc. They have the experience and agility to make immediate impacts. #SciPy2022

Flexible Backends: @AurelianaBar from @bopensolutions led a major refactor of Xarray’s storage backends. (6/n) twitter.com/xarray_dev/sta…

Xarray has a new blog! In our first post, @HammanHydro takes a look at what we accomplished with our first @cziscience EOSS grant. (1/n) 🧵 xarray.dev/blog/czi-eoss-…

🫴 Improving access to Copernicus climate and environmental data 🔓 Adopting mostly #OpenSource technologies This is just part of what we're developing together with @bopensolutions and @CopernicusECMWF, to expand #Copernicus services. 👇More details in our blog👇

And if you want to make your *own* RTC product from the GRD data, then planetarycomputer.microsoft.com/docs/tutorials… is the place to start. This is a great tutorial from @bopensolutions introducing SAR, geometric & terrain correction, and the new sarsen library.

I'm so proud sarsen is getting noticed. And we are still working full steam to make it into an operational tool. Stay tuned!

Proud to have been chosen by @CopernicusECMWF and @EUEnvironment to upgrade the European Climate Data Explorer together with @TheClimDatFac. Two years to publish new pan-european climate indicators and visualisations to better support #EUAdaptationStrategy climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/knowledge/euro…

It is my pleasure to announce the first beta release of @bopensolutions flagship Open Source projects: xarray-sentinel and sarsen. Accessing, processing and terrain-correcting Copernicus Sentinel-1 SAR data with Python, @xarray_dev and @condaforge has never been easier 🧵

I'm thrilled to announce the first public release of Sarsen, Open Source algorithms to process SAR satellite data in Python by @bopensolutions. It supports geocoding and gamma flattening Sentinel-1 data on any DEM, partly sponsored by @Microsoft github.com/bopen/sarsen 🧵 1/4

I'm please to announce xarray-sentinel v0.4 to access Sentinel-1 SAR data products. This release improves performance and adds helpers for a few metadata related operations like applying radiometric corrections and converting form slant to ground range pypi.org/project/xarray…

📢 At @bopensolutions we've just released version 0.3 of xarray-sentinel to read @CopernicusEU satellite data in Python, now with full support for Sentinel-1 GRD products 🎊 and calibration metadata. This release was partially sponsored by @Microsoft!

Join our short course on 16 Feb and explore "Analysis Ready Data" with experts from @eumetsat, @meeosrl & @bopensolutions. You'll get an introduction to the "Atmospheric Composition Data Cube" during this two-part event on 16 February 📅. Register at: bit.ly/3H3i8SR
