A research environment, preconfigured and ready.
DIVA is a pilot hub to collect, handle and exploit ground-based and satellite data — built with INOE, GRASP SAS, LuftBlick, CNRS-LOA, TROPOS and FMI under ESA.
01 — Direct data access
ACTRIS, AERONET, EARLINET, CLOUDNET and satellite data — collocated and reachable from the environment, no downloads or wrangling required.
02 — Algorithms ready to use
GRASP, GRASP-CCS and NATALI come preinstalled and configured. Import an algorithm, prepare your input, execute — the toolchain is already there.
03 — Collaborative by design
An online, shared workspace with user management, tutorials and worked examples — built to develop synergistic algorithms together.
The data is already in the room.
Ground-based networks and satellite data, collocated and reachable from inside the environment — no portals to scrape, no formats to reconcile.
