Earthdata 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.
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

The smart handoff capability is not available for all collections. Those collections that have this capability will have a vertical ellipsis (⋮) within the page. |
