INPE (VLAB CoE – Brazil) will organize another virtual training this year, covering the concepts related to some oceanography products. It will also be shown how to access and process these products with Python. Please find below some examples:
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE ANOMALY
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE – 7-DAY TREND
OCEAN COLOR
SEA LEVEL ANOMALY
ASCAT WINDS
Stay tuned for news!

The Space Week Nordeste 2022 is an event aimed at all those interested in technologies and advances in the space science area. The event intends to promote the exchange of knowledge between regional, national, and international institutions, contributing to the aerospace industry’s outreach and development, in addition to human resources training.
The Space Week Nordeste 2022 will be an event that will gather students, researchers, industry members, and curious people about aerospace science and technology in only one place – the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. During Space Week Nordeste 2022, scientists will present the results of their developing projects and exhibit what is most modern within the space science area.
Some of the topics that will be covered during Space Week Nordeste 2022:
Earth observation for the sustainable development goals;
Space-based weather and climate extreme events monitoring;
New Space: Disruptive Space technologies and innovations;
Deep Space Missions;
Air and Aerospace Economics;
Remote water monitoring – Space hydrology – The SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) mission
In addition to the scientific program of the event, there will also be activities aimed at the non-scientific community, in which children, youth, adults, and families will be able to learn more about the space and its particularities. Activities open to the general public will include a rocket launch, satellite model exhibitions, a space photo gallery, and many more!
More information about the event, such as registration opening, submission of abstracts, topics of scientific sessions, registration for mini courses, and activities will be available soon.
Stay tuned for news! More information on the official webpage:
As of January 2022, Earth observation data cubes for the entire Brazilian national territory generated by the Brazil Data Cube project are available on AWS (Amazon Web Service) as Open Data. These cubes are produced from data ready for analysis (ARD – Analysis-Read Data) from images from the Landsat-8, Sentinel-2 and CBERS-4 satellites. Based on a hierarchical tiling system, these cubes are regular in time, containing the best pixels (cloud free or cloud shadow free) observed in each period (monthly or 16 days).
