How to find data collection in EO CAT?
EO CAT (Earth Observation Catalogue) application allows users to search, browse, and download data from various ESA satellite missions. You can search for data based on various criteria and filters such as location, time period, satellite mission, and data type. A more detailed User Guide can be found here.
To illustrate how EO-CAT can be used to find data collections for specific events, here are some examples:
- Envisat ASAR Dataset over Bam earthquake (2003)
The Bam Earthquake (Iran) took place on 26 December 2003.
The Bam dataset includes ASAR Image Mode Single Look Complex (IMS) products, all corresponding to acquisitions performed in ERS-like mode, i.e. ASAR Image Mode, Swath 2, Polarisation VV.
Perpendicular Baseline Values Track 120 (descending pass, centered on the city of Bam) (11 june 2003 and 03 Dec 2003)
Perpendicular Baseline Values Track 385 (ascending pass, containing the city of Bam in the near range) 16 Nov 2003
The ASAR data archive in southeast Iran contains other acquisitions performed on adjacent tracks or with different ASAR modes.
Products can be found in ASAR IMS OTF collection in EO CAT.
