Supporting NASA Earth Science Research Teams' Migration to the Cloud
The NASA Openscapes Earthdata Cloud Cookbook is a learning resource for scientific researchers who use NASA Earthdata as NASA migrates data and workflows to the cloud. It is built as a cross-DAAC collaboration by the NASA-Openscapes team and is under active, open development.

| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Our Cookbooks | Links to DAAC-specific cookbooks (PO.DAAC, NSIDC, ORNL, OB.DAAC, and more) |
| Core Concepts | Conceptual background on cloud computing for Earth science |
| Tutorials | End-to-end, learn-by-doing workflows (hurricanes, sea level rise, carbon stocks, and more) |
| How-To Guides | Goal-oriented recipes for finding, accessing, and working with data |
| Reference | Glossary, cheatsheets |
You can follow along the examples provided on the cookbook or run them locally download the corn environment.yml from the NASA-Openscapes JupyterHub base image and create a conda environment:
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate nasaopenscapes_envThe earthaccess Python library streamlines access to NASA Earthdata locally or in the cloud and is used throughout this Cookbook.
import earthaccess
earthaccess.login()The earthdatalogin R package streamlines access to NASA Earthdata from R. While it is not as fully featured as earthaccess, it is the easiest way to authenticate and search for NASA Earthdata from R. As we continue to develop more tutorials in R, they will use this package throughout.
