FORCE

FORCE (Framework for Operational Radiometric Correction for Environmental monitoring) is an all-in-one solution for mass-processing medium-resolution satellite images

Available

FORCE is available in Puhti with the following versions:

  • 3.7.8

Usage

FORCE is included in the force module. You can load it with:

module load force

By default the latest force module is loaded. If you want a specific version you can specify the version number

module load force/<VERSION_NUMBER>

Running FORCE commands

FORCE is installed as a container, but it has wrappers for all FORCE commands, so it can be used normally.

If working interactively, you can also start a shell inside the container with

_debug_shell

We have an example of running L1 to L2 pipeline for Sentinel images in our Github examples
