Abstract

To take full advantage of the enormous amount of free and open Earth Observation data provided by the Copernicus Programme, users have to be aware of the several data access and processing tools available and to be able to exploit them to develop satellite-based applications. To this end, we provide an overview of Copernicus data access hubs and processing tools and compare them based on their features for their suitability in supporting users in developing satellite applications based on Copernicus data.
