Enhancing the Pangeo Community with NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Data
One of our main missions at Element 84 is to help reduce the amount of time that researchers (scientific and corporate, alike) spend wrangling, downloading, cleaning, and prepping data in pursuit of their primary research question. A recent NASA study put that number at around 60%–leaving less than half of a scientist’s time available for…
