Developer Cloud Service - MERIS Algal bloom detection using BEAM

This tutorial builds upon the on the work done in the context of the ESA Cat-1 project “Production of global MERIS MCI composite images for detection of plankton blooms and other events” submitted by Dr. Jim Gower. More context information is available from the tutorial wiki page.

Hereafter, we will guide you to implement a "MERIS Algal bloom detection using BEAM" application on Terradue's Cloud Platform, a set of Cloud services to develop, test and exploit scalable, distributed earth data processors.

Getting Started

To run this application, you will need a Developer Cloud Sandbox that can be requested from Terradue's Portal, provided user registration approval.

Installation

Log on the developer sandbox and run these commands in a shell:

• Install Java 7

sudo yum install -y java-1.7.0-openjdk

• Select Java 7

sudo /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java

This will show on the terminal window:

There are 3 programs which provide 'java'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
 + 1           /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_35/jre/bin/java
   2           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java
*  3           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:

Select java 1.7 out of the menu options by typing the correct number (here it's 3).

• Install R required packages

Run these commands in the Developer Cloud Sandbox shell:

sudo yum install -y miniconda-3.8.3
export PATH=/opt/anaconda/bin/:$PATH
sudo conda install -y -c r r-essentials
sudo conda install -y -c r -c terradue r-rciop
sudo conda install -y -c r -c terradue r-ff

• Install this application

cd
git clone git@github.com:Terradue/dcs-beam-algalbloom.git
cd dcs-beam-algalbloom
mvn install

Submitting the workflow

Run this command in a shell:

ciop-run

Or invoke the Web Processing Service via the Sandbox dashboard providing a start/stop date in the format YYYY/MM/DD (e.g. 2012-04-01 and 2012-04-03).
