Key Points

To develop and evaluate scalable distributed computing strategies for discovering coincident remote sensing observations across multiple satellite platforms in dynamic Arctic environments.
Designed and compared three spatio-temporal join computing strategies implemented within the distributed Apache Sedona framework.
Evaluated performance using real-world metadata scenarios from Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, and ICESat-2, combining multispectral imagery and LiDAR height data.
Conducted physical execution plan profiling alongside measurements of runtime variability, communication overhead, and memory utilization.
Incorporating a temporal slicing index improved computing performance for coincident data discovery by orders of magnitude compared to standard spatial joins.
Detailed query execution profiling showed significant reductions in inter-node communication cost and stabilized memory consumption during large-scale spatio-temporal searches.
