Improved Cloud Raster Format for Multidimensional Raster Storage and Analysis

Cloud Raster Format (CRF) is a raster format designed for distributed computing. We enhanced Cloud Raster Format to handle multidimensional raster data. The tile based, compressed, and transpose features of this multidimensional CRF allow fast access in all dimensions and optimize time series analysis in a distributed cloud environment. This presentation was given at the ESIP Summer Meeting in Tacoma, WA in July 2019.
