Data Access

This page lists data portals and services available at the DLR Earth Observation Center EOC for accessing EOC Earth observation data and products. Please note that most of our portals require some technical expertise in remote sensing. Casual users are referred to the daily weather images and the sample EOC satellite data on the right hand side.

	CORINE Land Cover CORINE Land Cover (CLC) provides a comparable set of land cover data across Europe. It has been generated as part of the European Union programme 'Coordination of Information on the Environment' (CORINE). This portal provides additional information and access to CORINE Land Cover data over Germany.

EOC Geoservice

The EOC Geoservice provides OGC-compliant discovery, visualization, and direct download services for a selection of the geospatial data hosted by the German Satellite Data Archive (D-SDA). This site gives an overview of the services, their capabilities, and the data sets available through the EOC Geoservice. The spatial data services of the EOC Geoservice can be used with any OGC-compliant client software.

EOWEB® GeoPortal (EGP)

EOWEB® GeoPortal (EGP) is a multi-mission web portal for interactive access to the DLR Earth observation data holdings. It combines classic discovery and order services with browse and download features for data available at the German Satellite Data Archive (D-SDA) via interoperable, OGC-compliant visualization and download services. For approved users EGP is as well the tool to place TerraSAR-X tasking orders.

	Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 As member of the EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility on Ozone and Atmospheric Chemistry Monitoring (O3M-SAF) the EOC derives a number of trace gases and cloud properties from the GOME-2 sensor onboard the MetOp satellites. The end user receives the products within two hours after sensing - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

ZKI Fire Monitoring System

DLR's Centre for Satellite Based Crisis Information provides an operational service for monitoring burnt areas in Europe. For this purpose, DLR receives and processes MODIS data from up to eight overflights of the Terra and Aqua satellites every day. Data from the Sentinel-3 satellites are also integrated. The algorithm used for burnt area detection was developed at DLR and shows not only the extent of the area burnt but also the intensity of the fires. The data can be accessed as web services via the EOC Geoservice.

	RESA Portal - Rapid Eye Science Archive Via the Rapid Eye Science Archive (RESA) science users can receive, free of charge, optical image data of the RapidEye satellite fleet. Imagery is allocated based on a proposal to be submitted via the RESA Portal which will be evaluated by independent experts.

WDC-RSAT - World Data Center for Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere

The World Data Center for Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere (WDC-RSAT), offers scientists and the general public free access to atmosphere-related satellite-based data sets, information products, and services. Focus is on atmospheric trace gases, aerosols, dynamics, radiation, and cloud physical parameters. Complementary information and data on surface parameters is also provided.

ZKI Portal - Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information

The Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information (ZKI) provides 24/7 emergency mapping services in support of humanitarian relief activities and civil security issues. The resulting satellite based information products are delivered to relief organisations and public authorities. Additional information and a selection of the emergency mapping products is available via the ZKI Portal.
