Remotely-Sensed Geophysical Databases: Experience and Implications for Generalized DBMSs
Summary: Remotely-sensed geophysical databases unify satellite and in situ data; a general-purpose relational DBMS catalogs observations and uses video optical disks for image archives. Suggests DBMS augmentations to better support scientific, engineering, and commercial data management. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
