Worldview

This new tool from NASA's EOSDIS provides the capability to interactively browse full-resolution, global, near real-time satellite imagery from 50+ data products from LANCE. In essence, this shows the entire Earth as it looks "right now" - or at least as it has looked within the past few hours. This will support time-critical application areas such as wildfire management, air quality measurements, and weather forecasting. The data is generally available within three hours of observation and can be compared to observations from the past week - just drag the orange time slider at the bottom of the screen to change the currently-displayed date. Browsing on tablet devices is currently supported for mobile access to this spacecraft imagery while in the field or on the couch. Please note, however, that this is an alpha (preview) release and many features are still under development. Comments / suggestions / problem reports are welcome via this address.

Worldview (Antarctic Version)

This is the Antarctic version of Worldview - data is presented in a polar stereographic projection (EPSG 3031) and products are restricted to the relevant ones for the Antarctic. This version will eventually be merged into the "main" Worldview instance above. Comments / suggestions / problem reports are welcome via this address.

Worldview (Arctic Version)

This is the Arctic version of Worldview - data is presented in a polar stereographic projection (EPSG 3995 at the moment) and products are restricted to the relevant ones for the Arctic. This version will eventually be merged into the "main" Worldview instance above. Comments / suggestions / problem reports are welcome via this address.

Web Mapping Service (WMS) Client

View and download imagery from a variety of EOS remote sensing products using the interactive Web Mapping Service (WMS). Multiple products from multiple instruments can be overlayed with population density data and administrative boundaries from the Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC). An Antarctic Polar WMSand an Arctic Polar WMSare available using the polar stereographic coordinate system to assist in viewing high/low latitude phenomena. NOTE: The WMS currently does not work with Internet Explorer. We are investigating this issue and hope to have it resolved soon.

Hazard and disasters data selection tool

Subsets of 40 products from MODIS, AIRS, and OMI are available for a variety of hazards and disasters categories selected by the users. The imagery is available through a geographic or polar coordinate system Web Mapping Service.
