Feature Idea - CBERS From AWS #69

Open fishish1 opened 4 years ago

fishish1 commented 4 years ago

CBERS Data is similar to Landsat data. With a second CBERS-4(a) satellite currently undergoing validation, data from CBERS could helpfully supplement Landsat and Sentinel data.

CBERS data is available in an AWS bucket, cbers-pds. Accessing this data would require interacting with the Amazon CLI (python) and an AWS account with the correct privileges. I could provide steps to help access the s3 bucket.

Challenges include: CBERS doesn't appear to have cloud masks included

Thanks for the suggestion and for offering your help. One question: Is the CBERS AWS bucket freely available or is it run on a requester-pays basis?

Yes. I'm not exactly sure how affordable that makes it for the average human.
