GIBS products can be used directly from within CartoDB. This can be done by adding a basemap from either “NASA” or a generic X/Y/Z template.

Method 1: adding a "NASA" basemap:

• While in "Map view", click the "Basemap" drop-down menu and select "Add yours".
• Select the "NASA" tab, then choose a date. Note that this currently defaults to either the Terra/MODIS Corrected Reflectance (True Color) product or the Suomi NPP/VIIRS/Earth Observatory Earth at Night 2012 layer. To use other GIBS products, see the method below for adding a layer via a generic X/Y/Z template.

Method 2: adding a GIBS layer from a generic X/Y/Z template

• While in "Map view", click the "Basemap" drop-down menu and select "Add yours".
• Select the "XYZ" tab
• Determine which GIBS imagery product you'd like to add, then construct a URL template as follows:
  • http://map1gibs.vis.earthdata.nasa.gov/wmts-webmerc/epsg3857/best/<product_name>/default/<date>/<zoom_levels_supported>/{z}/{y}/{x}.<format>

    • product_name: can be found in the "Imagery Layer" column of the Available Products Page or GetCapabilities document

    • date: of the format YYYY-MM-DD

    • zoom_levels_supported: found as the "TileMatrixSet" of your product of interest in the GetCapabilities document, e.g., "GoogleMapsCompatible_Level9"

    • format: "jpg" or "png" as listed in the "format" column of the Available Products Page

  • Sample templates:

    • http://gibs.earthdata.nasa.gov/wmts/epsg3857/best/MODIS_Terra_Land_Surface_Temp_Day/default/2014-04-09/GoogleMapsCompatible_Level7/{z}/{y}/{x}.png
