The NERC Earth Observation Data Acquisition and Analysis Service (NEODAAS) is based at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and overseen by NCEO on behalf of NERC.
NEODAAS offers a range of services that include:
- bespoke training in Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and access to computing (MAGEO GPU cluster)
- acquisition and processing of data from a range of satellites
- near real-time support and rapid response using satellite data
- airborne data processing
- code optimisation
NEODAAS offer near-real-time data products, with the capability to download and synthesize data from a number of satellites as soon as it is available, including chlorophyll concentration and sea surface temperature (SST). The NEODAAS team can facilitate dynamic projects, such as research cruises, where timely access to satellite data is invaluable in guiding campaigns.
NEODAAS AI expertise has widened the service to even more users. Researchers looking to undertake machine learning projects can now access PML’s Massive GPU for Earth Observation (MAGEO) cluster via an easy-to-use web front end (MAGEOHub) — as well as training tailored to their research needs.
NEODAAS offers support for optimising Earth Observation applications. Our experts can work with you to identify the best approach to improve the efficiency of your software, via a Code Optimisation Service, reducing processing time and energy usage where possible.
Researchers applying for NERC funding can include NEODAAS support via a technical assessment, for other funding sources an ‘open access’ system is available.
NEODAAS aims to assist as many researchers as possible, across an enormous range of science interests/areas. If you feel your project could benefit from any of the services listed above, please get in touch.
For NEODAAS support, contact helpdesk@neodaas.ac.uk where you can access training independent of making a full request.
