RealEarth QGIS 4 compatibility
Not QGIS 4 ready Quiet
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
This plugin allows users to directly access SSEC RealEarth web services public catalog of near real-time satellite imagery and related ancillary data through the OGC standard web services of WMTS and WFS. A login to RealEarth is recommended to extend data volume quota before watermarking occurs, but is not required.
About
SSEC RealEarth is a visualization platform developed at the Space Science & Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Its purpose is to allow visualization of near real-time satellite imagery and sensor data from a multitude of sources in a common web mapping interface. Combining atmospheric science and meteorology data with land remote sensing data in a GIS interface is challenging. This is largely because weather data tends to have high temporal resolution and cadence but low spatial resolution while land observations tend to have low temporal resolution and cadence but high spatial resolution. The ingest processes of RealEarth translate incoming data from formats such as NetCDF, grib2, csv, to GeoTIFF or GeoJSON with a focus on time and location. Once ingested, these data are available through OGC web services. The challenges for displaying weather data in GIS revolve around time series animation, caching, and keeping data current. This plugin addresses these challenges.
