EGMStream Webapp: EGMS Data Downstream Solution
The European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), part of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS), provides free pan-European ground motion data to support local and regional ground deformation analyses. To enhance the accessibility and usability of EGMS products, a new webapp, EGMStream, has been developed using Python and JavaScript for downloading and converting EGMS data. This revised and updated version improves the functionality and performance of the original R-based desktop tool, avoiding the need for a standalone software installation. Users can now simply access the webapp with an internet connection. In addition, the web version enhances data processing by leveraging high-performance server-side computing without relying on personal computer resources. The EGMStream webapp offers advanced features, including the parallel processing of large datasets and extraction of converted EGMS data for areas of interest (AoI) in various GIS-compatible formats. The transition from standalone software to a cloud-based system streamlines the integration of EGMS data into existing workflows, broadens user accessibility, and supports large-scale geospatial analysis. Consequently, this shift promotes the dissemination of these relevant and free available measurement data to a wider audience, including non-expert users.
