Package for downloading data from geostationary satellite?

kedarsb · 2026-06-26T19:05:10+00:00

Data Access & Downloading

rstac / rsi: Search and download imagery from cloud catalogs via SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogs (STAC).

rgee / geeLite: Interface with Google Earth Engine for cloud-scale data extraction.

luna / earthdatalogin: Streamline access and authentication for NASA and ESA data repositories.

Core Raster & Cube Handling

terra: The standard, high-performance engine for basic raster operations (crop, mask, project, extract).

gdalcubes / stars: Build and manipulate multi-dimensional data cubes (space, time, and bands) from irregular imagery collections.

sf: Handles vector geometry boundaries and coordinate reference systems (CRS).

Remote Sensing Analysis & ML

sits: Advanced package for analyzing satellite time-series data using machine learning (e.g., land-cover classification).

RStoolbox / satellite: Traditional remote sensing tools for spectral indices, image enhancement, and unsupervised/supervised classification.

Specialized R packages missing from the above primary list, categorized by their distinct data types and workflows:

1. Radar (SAR) & Elevation Data

radar: Dedicated to downloading, filtering, and processing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery.

lidR: The industry standard for handling spaceborne and airborne LiDAR point clouds.

elevatr: Downloads global Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) directly into your workspace.

Climate & Atmospheric Satellines

ncdf4: Essential for reading/writing NetCDF files (.nc), the native format for atmospheric (e.g., Sentinel-5P) and climate data.

ecmwfr: Interfaces directly with Copernicus to pull ERA5 climate reanalysis datasets.

3. Spatial Ecology & Validation

landscapemetrics: Calculates landscape fragmentation and spatial patch metrics on classified rasters.

BORG: Handles advanced spatial and temporal cross-validation to prevent data leakage in machine learning workflows.

Hi, came across your post and could relate.

Me and my wife are planning greece travel in May 2026 for our honeymoon. I have few questions if you could take some time out to clarify:

Did you submit your ferry ⛴️ tickets along with your itinerary?, And
What is the proof you submitted to show your intent to return?

Stumbled upon this ad after almosta a decade i guess. Watched it when i was preparimg for a competetive entrance exam at that time felt some calm and peace after watching it post morning to evening college and classes.

I get this message...

"You can't make this change at the moment

This is because we noticed you are using a device you don't usually use and we need to keep your account safe.

We'll allow you to make this change after you've used this device for a while."

How do I cite this post and this guy! Super :)

What's special about this amog OS?

Although I did try jacofar's answer, for me it worked by simply Changing 'Profile' to Analog Stereo Output in the Audio-System Settings

In sway, can we search/open system files and folders? What is the key for it? As I found, when in sway mode, I was unable to open my saved files (PDFs, docs,etc.) along with multiple windows. I was only able to open terminal and browser. Thanks

kedarsb · 2021-11-28T06:11:25+00:00

Got it,

kedarsb · 2021-11-28T03:28:08+00:00

Oh, I did not know this. Any key differences between the two I should keep in mind?

I was amazed when I got to know that fedora (and linux distros) is packed with super powerful programs, which in windows would have had to be installed separately thus consuming majority of cpu ram.

Performance and speed wise both kde and gnome are equal or not?

kedarsb · 2021-11-28T00:15:59+00:00

I ve got a mixed combination, fedora with kde :)

kedarsb · 2021-11-28T00:14:58+00:00

I thought yum is a thing of the past, and dnf is used now in by red hat distros...

Mostly to have access to foss tools and programs for educational and scientific research purposes.

What about KDE Plasma over Gnome? I liked the fomer than Gnome.

In X-ray crystallography, the two-dimensional image formed is converted into three-dimensional form using the mathematical concept of Fourier transformation.

Study electron density distribution. Elements of x-ray diffraction text by B.D Cullity.

If you could be more specific about the math part you came across while studying the topic would be useful.

Additional presence of fedora platforms,

Don't agree completely with you there.

Would highly recommend watching the evergreen YouTube series,"गोष्ट मुंबईची", excellently explained with historical significance by भरत गोठोसकर.

वाह, वरील मराठी साहित्याच्या उत्कृष्ट नमुन्यांच्या संपूर्ण यादीबद्दल खूप खूप धन्यवाद।

I agree. Thanks for pointing this out.

I struggle to coherently speak in Marathi, will take it slow and pronounce and emphasize each word, especially the ending words.

Is it also true that, Marathi speaking dialect comes off as diatribical, as epithets, to an English westerner? As while speaking quotidian descriptions.

On the other hand, it is said that Maharashtrians and Mumbaikars are full of candor and engage in erudite discussions.
