Earthdata Search enables smart handoffs of search criteria to Giovanni. Giovanni is a NASA tool that displays Earth science data from NASA satellites directly on the Internet, without the difficulties of traditional data acquisition and analysis methods.
and parameters to other web user interfaces. A smart handoff allows for the seamless transfer of a user experience from one web user interface to another while preserving the user's earth science context. The context being preserved may include:
- Spatial constraints
- Temporal constraints
- Collections
There are three ways to initiate a smart handoff from Earthdata Search:
- From the 'Granule Results' page.
- From the 'My Project' page.
- From the 'Collection Details' page.
