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.
