RCM CEOS Analysis Ready Data | Données prêtes à l'analyse du CEOS pour le MCR

The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) is Canada's third generation of Earth observation satellites. Launched on June 12, 2019, the three identical satellites work together to bring solutions to key challenges for Canadians. As part of ongoing Open Government efforts, NRCan produces a CEOS analysis ready data (ARD) of Canada landmass using a 30M Compact-Polarization standard coverage, every 12 days. RCM CEOS-ARD (POL) is the first ever polarimetric dataset approved by the CEOS committee. Previously, users were stuck ordering, downloading and processing RCM images (level 1) on their own, often with expensive software. This new...

Data coverage

The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) is Canada's third generation of Earth observation satellites. Launched on June 12, 2019, the three identical satellites work together to bring solutions to key challenges for Canadians. As part of ongoing Open Government efforts, NRCan produces a CEOS analysis ready data (ARD) of Canada landmass using a 30M Compact-Polarization standard coverage, every 12 days. RCM CEOS-ARD (POL) is the first ever polarimetric dataset approved by the CEOS committee. Previously, users were stuck ordering, downloading and processing RCM images (level 1) on their own, often with expensive software. This new dataset aims to remove these burdens with a new STAC catalog for discovery and direct download links. La mission de la Constellation RADARSAT (MCR) est la troisième génération de satellites d'observation de la Terre du Canada. Lancés le 12 juin 2019, les trois satellites identiques travaillent ensemble pour apporter des solutions aux principaux défis des Canadiens. Dans le cadre des efforts continus pour un gouvernement ouvert, RNCan produit des données prêtes à l'analyse CEOS (ARD) de la masse terrestre du Canada en utilisant une couverture standard de 30 m en polarisation compacte, tous les 12 jours. Les CEOS-ARD (POL) du MCR constituent le premier ensemble de données polarimétriques jamais approuvé par le comité CEOS. Auparavant, les utilisateurs étaient obligés de commander, de télécharger et de traiter eux-mêmes les images RCM (niveau 1), souvent à l'aide de logiciels coûteux. Ce nouvel ensemble de données vise à supprimer ces fardeaux avec un nouveau catalogue STAC à découvrir et à télécharger directement depuis S3.

Access & permitted use

Review the publisher’s documentation for availability, eligibility and permitted uses, including commercial analysis, model training and redistribution.

RCM image products are available free of charge, to the broadest extent possible, in order to promote the development of innovative products and services derived from SAR data. The Government of Canada retains ownership of all RCM data and image products. Intellectual property rights to value-added products (VAPs) created from the RCM image products will remain with the creator of the VAP. Acceptable uses of RCM image products are set out in the RCM Public User License Agreement, which is provided with each RCM image product. Les produits d'image de la MCR sont disponibles sans frais, le plus possible accessibles, pour encourager la mise au point de produits et services novateurs dérivés des données RSO. Le gouvernement du Canada conserve la propriété de toutes les données et de tous les produits d'image de la MCR. Les droits de propriété intellectuelle sur les produits à valeur ajoutée (PVA) créés à partir des produits d'image de la MCR demeureront la propriété du créateur du PVA. Les utilisations acceptables des produits d'image de la MCR sont énoncées dans le contrat de licence d'utilisation fourni avec chaque produit d'image de la MCR

(EXPERIMENTAL) NOAA FourCastNet Global Forecast System (FourCastNetGFS) (EXPERIMENTAL)

The FourCastNet Global Forecast System (FourCastNetGFS) is an experimental system set up by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) to produce medium range global forecasts. The model runs on a 0.25 degree latitude-longitude grid (about 28 km) and 13 pressure levels. The model produces forecasts 4 times a day at 00Z, 06Z, 12Z and 18Z cycles. Major atmospheric and surface fields including temperature, wind components, geopotential height, relative humidity and 2 meter temperature and 10 meter winds are available. The products are 6 hourly forecasts up to 10 days. The data format is GRIB2. The FourCastNetGFS...

10m Annual Land Use Land Cover (9-class)

This dataset, produced by Impact Observatory, Microsoft, and Esri, displays a global map of land use and land cover (LULC) derived from ESA Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 meter resolution for the years 2017 - 2024. Each map is a composite of LULC predictions for 9 classes throughout the year in order to generate a representative snapshot of each year. This dataset was generated by Impact Observatory, which used billions of human-labeled pixels (curated by the National Geographic Society) to train a deep learning model for land classification. Each global map was produced by applying this model to the Sentinel-2 annual scene...
