Dear PANGEO Community,
You’ve probably heard about EOPF before, ESA’s upcoming cloud-native product format for all Sentinel data.
What’s new: ESA tasked us (DevSeed, EOX, thriveGEO and partners) to devise a visualisation-optimised variant of this format. We worked with many of you here @maxrjones @d-v-b @benbovy @emmanuelmathot to come up with conventions that hopefully will be useful for other data publishers, too: GeoZarr conventions.
We’ve prepared sample data and got various open source software ready to use with this format, all shared at our EOPF Explorer website.
Now we’d like to present this all to you interested in GeoZarr and Sentinel data, so please:
Join us for the launch of the EOPF Sentinel Zarr Explorer, a new service enabling fast, cloud-native visualisation of Sentinel data directly in the browser.
When: 9 March, 3pm to 4pm (UTC+1)

Instant, Browser-Native Visualisation
See GeoZarr in action: pan through Sentinel imagery, switch spectral bands, and apply dynamic calculations. Do all this in real-time, directly in your browser! Say goodbye to waiting, downloads and preprocessing. Plus, you can look under the hood and see how we’ve built this.
Real Demonstrations
Watch as we showcase the complete user journey from discovery through to storytelling, including:
• Intuitive STAC-based data browsing
• Rapid screening with custom band combinations
• Real-world applications:
Data in the browser with OpenLayers.
Advanced server-side visualisation with TiTiler.
Zarr is the planned future distribution format for Copernicus Sentinel data. Built on the new Zarr Conventions and the upcoming OGC GeoZarr specifications, the Explorer demonstrates how cloud-native Zarr enables fast, efficient data access and quick visualisation.
Built with open-source technology such as TiTiler, GDAL, OpenLayers, and STAC, the enhanced GeoZarr format includes web-optimised chunking, consolidated pyramids, and geospatial metadata that enables seamless browser-based visualisation.
Do let me know if you have any questions
