Datasets

The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) is a German hyperspectral satellite mission that monitors and characterizes Earth’s environment on a global scale. EnMAP delivers accurate data that provides information on the status and evolution of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, supporting environmental monitoring, management, and decision-making.

The objective of the TanDEM-X mission (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) is to produce a highly accurate, three-dimensional image of our Earth with uniform quality and unprecedented accuracy.

Sentinel-2 is an Earth observation mission from the EU's Copernicus Programme.

Sentinel-5 is an Earth observation mission from the EU's Copernicus Programme.

The World Settlement Footprint Suite is a collection of novel global datasets designed to provide high-resolution and reliable information on the extent of settlement areas.

Burnt Area is a monitoring service showing the full extent of forest fires on a daily basis and over time.

Global SnowPack is a global service which maps snow cover extent at different temporal scales.

Global WaterPack (GWP) contains information about open surface water coverage at different temporal scales.

IceLines is an automated calving front monitoring service providing monthly ice shelf front time series of major Antarctic ice shelves.

The EOC provides comprehensive information on physical material at the Earth's surface, including vegetation, water, bare ground, and human-made structure for Germany.

The EOC provides comprehensive information on agricultural products.

The EOC provides comprehensive information on the structure and composition of forest areas and vegetation.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a key instrument aboard the American satellites Terra and Aqua.

The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2) instrument continues the long-term monitoring of atmospheric trace gas constituents started with GOME / ERS-2 and SCIAMACHY / Envisat. Currently, there are three GOME-2 instruments operating on board EUMETSAT's Meteorological Operational satellites MetOp-A, -B and -C, launched in October 2006, September 2012, and November 2018, respectively. GOME-2 can measure a range of atmospheric trace constituents, with the emphasis on global ozone distributions. Furthermore, cloud properties and intensities of ultraviolet radiation are retrieved. These data are crucial for monitoring the atmospheric composition and the detection of pollutants. DLR generates operational GOME-2 / MetOp level 2 products in the framework of EUMETSAT's Satellite Application Facility on Atmospheric Chemistry Monitoring (AC-SAF). GOME-2 near-real-time products are available already two hours after sensing.

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) was an international research effort that obtained digital elevation models on a near-global scale.
