This idea is sponsored by UT Dept. of Geography.

Many satellites provide information about land surface temperature (LST), vegetation status (e.g. NDVI), soil moisture or other parameters. However, they differ by pixel size of the image, frequency of taking image at the same point/study area, length of the image time series etc.

Manually sorting out all publicly available data sets form different data providers is time consuming. An automated search engine could easily rank all data sets to tabular form to make it easier for users to look for the interested parts.
