System architecture of the developed data processing middleware

Objectives: 

• Establishing a multi-source data processing middleware for land observations
• Implementing additional and individual processing steps for integrated data
• Providing standard-compliant visualization, access, and download services for time-series data
• Fostering near real-time monitoring of land processes.

Data Sources:

• Earth Observation Data
  • Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)
  • Landsat (planned)
  • External product archives (e.g. Geoland2, GlobSnow) (planned)
• In-situ Climate Data
  • Integrated Surface Database (ISD) (in development)
  • Global Surface Summary of the Day (GSOD)
  • Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily (GHCN) (planned)

Implementation:

• Development of Data Processing Middleware
  • Data Integration
  • Data Provision
• Integration of statistical analysis and processing functions
  • GIS Backend
  • Statistical Analysis (e.g. Bfast)
• User-defined Monitoring of Land Processes
