Embracing open science principles, AVL will enable researchers to access, share, visualise, process and validate a variety of relevant data sets. Moreover, algorithms and workflows developed within the virtual laboratory may be published and shared, thus fostering collaboration at all stages of research.<\/p>\n<p>To this end, the AVL system integrates several components,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a web-based Workspace including a Jupyter Service, a visualisation service, the interface to the Thematic Processing subsystem, and an overview of own data and algorithms,<\/li>\n<li>the Thematic Processing Subsystem offering an engine for numerous common workflows and tools for agriculture research, e.g. Sen2Agri and Sen4CAP but also generic tools such as SNAP, gdal, and Orfeo,<\/li>\n<li>the Exploitation Subsystem providing convenient access to all data in a common analysis-ready format thus greatly facilitating the development and execution of complex workflows involving multiple datasets.<\/li>\n<li>The data access layer, connecting heterogeneous data sets from different sources to AVL, hence greatly decreasing the burden of data management for researchers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Initially funded as a 36months project by the European Space Agency, the AVL is intended to be a community based, long-term initiative facilitating the continuous development of expertise and knowledge in agricultural monitoring and modelling based on the evolving Earth Observation (EO) capabilities. AVL is implemented by a strong, complementary team of four institutions, all experts in their respective field.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221;
