What are the Docs for Google Earth Engine?
The docs are primarily structured by data type. For example, the left side navigation contains links to sections or pages about important data types such as Image , ImageCollection , Feature , FeatureCollection , Geometry , Reducer , Chart, Join and Array. This guide only describes only enough about these types to get you started.
Where can I find Earth Engine datasets?
Images, image collections, and feature collections are discoverable by searching the Earth Engine Data Catalog. For example, entering ‘Landsat 8’ into the search field results in a list of raster datasets. (The complete listing of Earth Engine datasets is at the Earth Engine Data Catalog ).
