Analysis Ready Data (ARD) data are Earth Observation data pre-processed for users and ready to analyse. The idea behind ARD is, that a data provider such as EUMETSAT is in general in a better position to do general data pre-processing, e.g. atmospheric correction, cloud masking and re-gridding, than a user. ARD data are typically made available in form of a data cube, which typically is specialised on a specific region or a thematic application.
