One example of Copernicus data: the next reanalysis covering the last 40 years…
This dataset alone has a volume of 6 PB = 6,000,000,000,000,000 bytes
If this dataset was stored on
CDs, the CD pile would be
about 11 km high, up to the top
of the clouds.
If this dataset was printed, there
would be enough books to reach
the moon.
