description In the face of tight natural resources and complex as well as volatile environments, and in order to meet the pressure brought by population growth, we need to overcome a series of challenges. As a new data management paradigm, the Earth Observation Data Cube simplifies the way that users manage and use earth observation data, and provides an analysis-ready form to access big spatiotemporal data, so as to realize the greater potential of earth observation data. Based on the Open Data Cube (ODC) framework, combined with analysis-ready data (ARD) generation technology, the design and implementation of CDC_DLTool, extending the support for data loading and the processing of international and Chinese imagery data covering China, this study eventually constructs the China Data Cube (CDC) framework. In the framework of this CDC grid, this study carried out case studies of water change monitoring based on international satellite imagery data of Landsat 8 in addition to vegetation change monitoring based on Chinese satellite imagery data of GF-1. The experimental results show that, compared with traditional scene-based data organization, the minimum management unit of this framework is a pixel, which makes the unified organization and management of multisource heterogeneous satellite imagery data more convenient and faster.
