We released a new version of NASA Worldview, version 3.5.0, yesterday and wanted to share the good news with you!
Read the short article on the Earthdata website, Layer by Layer, NASA Worldview Continues to Improve, to learn more about our most recent improvements, or just go and visit NASA Worldview to see the new changes!
New features include a preview image and layer description when a layer search is conducted.
In this release, we have also added a new set of Fires and Thermal Anomalies layers (Day and Night) from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on board the NOAA-20 (aka JPSS-1) satellite. This satellite crosses the equator 50 minutes prior to the Suomi National Polar orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite, at approximately 12:40 PM (ascending/day node) and 12:40 AM (descending/night node). This means we now have four sets of Fires and Thermal Anomalies (Day and Night) layers - MODIS/Terra, MODIS/Aqua, VIIRS/Suomi NPP, and VIIRS/NOAA-20! Explore the Fires and Thermal Anomalies layer from VIIRS/NOAA-20 in NASA Worldview!
VIIRS/NOAA-20 Fires and Thermal Anomalies layers now available in Worldview.
