ASF OpenScienceLab featured this month
The NASA Earthdata website currently highlights OpenSciecneLab (OSL) in its Data Tool in Focus section. OSL is an ASF service that encourages scientific collaboration and classroom learning by providing a JupyterHub environment next to the cloud-based ASF SAR data archive. This allows quick and free access to data using preconfigured computing environments with persistent storage.
