LANCE NRT Data and Imagery
Download NRT data from the following instruments and platforms:
- Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)
- Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2)
- Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS)
- Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)
- Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT)*
- Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)
- Ozone Mapping Profiler Suite (OMPS)
- Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP)
- Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) - VIIRS Land and VIIRS Atmosphere
- LANCE MODIS NRT Flood product
* Note: MOPITT was put in to safe mode on February 1, 2025, due to power constraints onboard Terra. While in safe mode no NRT or science data will be collected.
Other Reduced Latency and Expedited Data and Imagery
- Expedited Advanced Topographic Altimeter System (ATLAS) on the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2)
- Note that data from ICESat-2 are expedited and made available within 3 days of satellite observation rather than the average 45 days for the standard data.
- TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) - now available
- Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats (TROPICS) - coming soon
- Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) - coming soon
LANCE NRT imagery is accessible through Worldview, Worldview Snapshots, and GIBS.
NRT fire data and imagery is accessible through FIRMS.
