Welcome to the CEOS
Open Source Software Inventory
The CEOS Open Source Software Inventory is an application to track software projects relating to CEOS' mission of facilitating the use and exchange of Earth observation data. Here you will find a number of software packages that relate to the acquisition, processing, analysis, exchange, etc. of Earth observation data. Most of the projects here are open-source and available for use by the scientific community.

CLASlite
CLASlite Version: 3.3
Monitoring tropical deforestation and forest degradation with satellites can be an everyday activity for non-experts who support environmental conservation, forest management, and resource policy development. Through extensive observation of user needs, we developed CLASlite to assist governments, nongovernmental organizations, and academic institutions with high-resolution mapping and monitoring of forests with satellite imagery.

NCO NetCDF Operators
NCO NetCDF Operators Version: >4.0
The NCO toolkit manipulates and analyzes data stored in netCDF-accessible formats, including DAP, HDF4, and HDF5. It exploits the geophysical expressivity of many CF (Climate & Forecast) metadata conventions, the flexible description of physical dimensions translated by UDUnits, the network transparency of OPeNDAP, the storage features (e.g., compression, chunking, groups) of HDF (the Hierarchical Data Format), and many powerful mathematical and statistical algorithms of GSL (the GNU Scientific Library). NCO is fast, powerful, and free.

RITSAR
RITSAR Version: 1.0
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Image Processing Toolbox for Python. Current capabilities include modeling the phase history for a collection of point targets as well as processing phase histories using the polar format, backprojection, and omega-k algorithms. Autofocusing can also be performed using the Phase Gradient Algorithm. The current version can interface with AFRL Gotcha and DIRSIG data as well as a data set provided by Sandia.

SciaL1C Command-line Tool
SciaL1C Command-line Tool Version: 3.2
The SCIAMACHY Calibration and Extraction Tool SciaL1c is an application provided to the users of the SCIAMACHY Level 1b products. This application allows users to select specific calibrations to apply to Level 1b data, which are in the case of SCIAMACHY defined as not fully calibrated Level 0 channel information in combination with calculated calibration data. The generated Level 1c products are suitable for the user's particular applications.
