NASA’s Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for
EOSEO (Earth Observations) (LANCE)
The LANCE system is responsible for generating and distributing near real-time data products for a number of instruments on the EOS Terra, Aqua and Aura missions with a high degree of reliability. In particular the LANCE system involves a number of elements: MODIS, AIRS, MLS, OMI and AMSR-E instrument data. All Level 1 and 2 data products are distributed within 3 hours of observation.
LANCE is reviewed and supported by a User Working Group (UWG) whose members reflect the various user communities served by LANCE as well as representatives of the Science Teams for the five LANCE instruments. The group is presently chaired by Professor Chris Justice, Chair Geography Department, University of Maryland. The UWG meets at least once per year to review the status of LANCE operations and development activities and to provide guidance concerning future upgrades suggested by the user communities and the LANCE elements. Details of the responsibilities of the UWG are given in the User Working Group (UWG) Charter.
provides data and imagery from Terra, Aqua, Aura, Suomi NPP and GCOM-W1 satellites in less than 3 hours from satellite observation, to meet the needs of the near real-time (NRT) applications community. LANCE is a distributed system that builds on the existing EOSDIS capabilities.
