With an increasing number of satellite systems and applications one can see a growing demand for data at universities and research institutions. Department of Applied Geoinformatics and Cartography have installed a receiving station for continuously acquiring data from the following selected satellite systems – Envisat (Meris), MSG second generation, NOAA and Metop. This system represents a very intensive daily data flow. Received data are filtered and stored within disk arrays and magnetic tapes. These steps need to be taken prior to data storage in file systems. SDI was created with an emphasis on a simple common gateway to the spatial data at the Faculty of Science.
