abstract: >-
  Thematic Observation Search, Segmentation, Collation and
  Analysis (TOS2CA) is a user-driven, data-centric system
  that identifies, collates, statistically characterizes,
  and serves Earth science data relevant to a given
  phenomenon. It facilitates the collation and analysis of
  data from disparate sources and makes it possible for
  scientists to establish science traceability requirements,
  quantify detection thresholds, define uncertainty
  requirements, and establish data sufficiency to formulate
  truly innovative missions and research investigations.
