Interactive interface for browsing full-resolution, global satellite imagery.



## Background



This app from NASA's [EOSDIS](https://earthdata.nasa.gov/) provides the

capability to interactively browse over 1000 global, full-resolution satellite

imagery layers on desktop and mobile devices. Many of the imagery layers are

updated daily and are within three hours of observation - showing the entire Earth as it is

"right now". This supports time-critical applications such as wildfire

management, air quality measurements, and flood monitoring. Some satellite

imagery layers span almost 30 years, providing a long term view of our dynamic

planet. The underlying data is available for download, and Arctic and Antarctic

views of several imagery layers are available for a “full globe” perspective. Geostationary imagery layers are also now available. These are provided in ten minute increments for the last 90 days. These full disk hemispheric views allow for almost real-time viewing of changes occurring around most of the world.



Worldview uses [OpenLayers](http://openlayers.org/) to display imagery from the

[Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS)](https://earthdata.nasa.gov/gibs). This

imagery can also be used [with libraries such as Leaflet, Cesium, Google Maps](https://nasa-gibs.github.io/gibs-api-docs/map-library-usage/)

or [custom GDAL scripts](https://nasa-gibs.github.io/gibs-api-docs/map-library-usage/#gdal).

We encourage interested developers to fork Worldview or build their own clients

using GIBS services.
