Abstract-Current methods of searching for
and retrieving data from satellite land remote
sensing archives do not allow for interactive
information extraction. Instead, Earth science
data users are required to download files over
low-bandwidth networks to local workstations
and process data before science questions can
be addressed.
New methods of extracting information
from data archives need to become more interactive to meet user demands for deriving increasingly complex information from rapidly
expanding archives. Moving the tools required
for processing data to computer systems of data
providers, and away from systems of the data
consumer, can improve turnaround times for
data processing workflows.
The implementation of middleware services
was used to provide interactive access to archive
data. The goal of this middleware services development is to enable Earth science data users
