The CEOS Visualization Environment (COVE) is a suite of tools for analyzing satellite
sensor coverage for more than 100 Earth-observing satellites.
The COVE suite of tools includes:
| Acquisition Forecaster | A tool that provides users with the ability to predict when a satellite has the ability to image a region of interest, and includes options to show the nadir track or filter scenes by orbit direction in user controls. |
| Coverage Analyzer | A tool that provides users with the ability to analyze the historical satellite coverage of a region of interest. |
| Revisits Calculator | A tool which allows users to analyze estimated satellite coverage and revisits for a region of interest. |
| Coincident Calculator | A tool which allows users to determine the coincidence of satellite instrument modes and/or custom constellations observing a location in the same day within a region of interest using historical or predicted scene data. |
| Data Browser | A tool that allows users to view the satellite image archives from multiple CEOS missions. |
| Data Policy | A database that provides users with information about the data policy and primary archive location for CEOS satellite instruments. |
| Country Coverage | A tool that allows users to generate and view GFOI Country Coverage reports for over 70 countries and 3 constellations. |
| Utilities | A set of quick calculation utilities to provide users with a means of estimating various parameters of interest about CEOS satellite missions. |
| COVE API | A REST API which allows users to access COVE's functionality remotely. See the user's guide for details. |
All tools in COVE may be found under the Tools menu.
Help is available for the COVE, the COVE API, and cove-client. Help may be accessed from the Help menu.
