Turning EPIC data into science products

Key Points

The EPIC instrument processes data to create science products that enhance our understanding of the Earth's surface and atmosphere.
Incorporating multiple spectral bands, EPIC offers insights into socioeconomic factors affected by vegetation and atmospheric conditions.
The creation of a comprehensive data pipeline ensures efficient dissemination of valuable EPIC science products to researchers and the public.
This research highlights the importance of effective data management for maximizing the impact of satellite observation on environmental studies.

Abstract

The EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) onboard the DSCOVR mission takes full disc illuminated pictures of the earth in 10 spectral bands, ranging from infrared to ultraviolet. Scientists use the data from EPIC to study the surface and atmosphere of the earth, including aerosols, ozone, volcanic plumes, vegetation, and the ocean. This paper describes how raw data from the EPIC instrument is turned into level-2 science products. It describes the hardware and processes that go in to creating a data pipeline for disseminating these science products to the wider community.
