AnnexesΒΆ

Below you find a list of all data sets distributed through the Earth system Data Cube (ESDC). In future versions of this document, this list will be automatically generated at ingestion of the source data sets to the ESDC and provide a more detailed reference to the original data, its official name, and the data owner. In the current version, it briefly summarizes the datasets that have been ingested to the ECDS so far (yes) or that are planned to be available in later versions (V1 or V2). For some data sets, marked with tbc here, we are in the process of clarifying technical or legal issues. We kindly remind you to respect the usage policy of the owners of the original data. Read also our remarks on Data Policy.!
