Data#
DeepESDL provides access to a broad range of Earth observation datasets through a unified, analysis-ready data cube framework. Whether you're working on climate research, land use monitoring, or marine studies, DeepESDL helps you access, integrate, and analyze diverse data sources—without the need for heavy local storage or complex preprocessing.
Data is accessed lazily using the powerful xcube library, which accesses data directly from remote services. This means you can work with massive datasets on-demand—saving time, storage, and effort.
In addition to public data sources, DeepESDL supports the integration of your own datasets into the same framework, enabling seamless joint analysis and visualization. For guidance on integrating your own data, see this guide.
