"Earth engine application to retrieve long-term terrestrial and aquatic time series of satellite reflectance data"

Abstract

Google earth engine is an open source cloud based computing platform that is designed to process large scale datasets. Owing to its capacity and features, it can be useful to wide range of applications-the most prominent being vegetation mapping and monitoring, earth sciences related studies and many others. We have developed a web tool based on google earth engine to encourage and assist the researchers from non- programming background to use google earth engine. This application is freely available and can be accessed at https://mapcoordinates.info/. In the current version, this application has some interesting features like data filter, generates time series plots, time series records and metadata in .csv format. Users can download the time series records of any location, select the satellite sensor, choose the model, filter the cloud cover, scale factor. This application also visualizes the time slider feature for the location selected on the map.
