Step-by-StepGuides
Under DevelopmentBrowse our curated collection of walkthroughs organized by complexity to help you master planetary calculations and computational modeling.
Introduction to Remote Sensing
Understand what satellite sensors capture, the difference between optical and active radar (SAR), and how spectral resolution impacts planetary data studies.
Navigating the Datasets Directory
Learn how to find Sentinel archives, elevation datasets (SRTM), climate records (ERA5), and VELSTROM's proprietary soil carbon grids.
Querying Spatial APIs
Set up queries using spatial geometry parameters like bounding boxes, date ranges, and cloud cover criteria, and analyze the raw JSON telemetry feeds.
Custom Spectral Index Calculations
Step-by-step guide to writing custom band math expressions (e.g. combining green, infrared, and red edge bands) and calculating custom indicators.
HPC Parallel Workflows
Configure large-scale data queries to execute in parallel across CUDA-enabled clusters using the VELSTROM Python SDK and MPI pipelines.
Numerical Soil Carbon Simulations
Use deal.II, Gmsh, and FEniCS modeling tools to run multi-spectral soil carbon flow mechanics, nutrient degradations, and hydrological models.
