An information system for acquisition, processing and access to satellite data and its applications in environmental monitoring

The paper presents an information system aimed to support scientific research projects that use satellite monitoring data. The system is based on an approach designed to represent a large archive of structured files which contain remote sensing data as a unified multidimensional information space, that is called as the hVault technology. The capabilities of the system are shown using several application problems as examples. The efficiency of the system is demonstrated on large volumes of spatial data. The information system incorporates the infrastructure for data acquisition and storage, a workflow-based system for automated data processing and generation of multiple information products, and an implementation of the hVault technology based on PostgreSQL that virtually integrates the data stored in the information products in a relational database. Users access the information system via multiple front ends, such as interactive web applications for data analysis or specialized web-protocol adapters that connect the system to the desktop GIS. The applications presented in this paper show how the system can be used to perform both spatial and temporal analysis tasks on the archive of land surface temperature measurements done by satellite on a daily basis. The application is aimed to study the thermal properties of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site area and the epicenter zone of the 2003 Altai earthquake. The application is capable to analyze the distribution of thermal “hotspots” related to the wildfire hazards over a large swath of land. The initial experience for the application of the presented information system shows that it can increase the efficiency of the use of satellite data in research.
