What Planetary Computer Data Sets are You Excited About?

ArcGIS for the Microsoft Planetary Computer is now available for current Esri users! I am excited to see the huge listing of analysis ready data available to use in ArcGIS Pro, but which data sets are you most interested in for your project?

Just wanted to jump in and mention how it would be really handy to have a guide or road map for navigating the data sets available.

Thanks!

Thanks for your comment, Jeff! The ACS files we provide with this capability include access to all the data sets. In addition, we plan to publish notebooks which will connect to them through the STAC API (exposed in ArcGIS). Do you think it would be helpful to provide some examples or suggestions on how this open data can be used with ArcGIS pro for specific applications?

Hi Stephanie, the example I have been asked about is using Sentinel-1 SAR data to do change detection analysis.

Easily tracking down the data for an area of interest for specific time periods is key to this type of analysis.
