Page History

The GIBS imagery archive includes approximately 90 200 imagery products representing visualized science data from the NASA Earth Observing System. Each imagery product is generated at the native resolution of the source data to provide "full resolution" visualizations of a science parameter.  GIBS works closely with the science teams to identify the appropriate data range and color mappings, where appropriate, to provide the best quality imagery to the Earth science community.  Many GIBS imagery products are generated by the EOSDIS LANCE near real-time processing system resulting in imagery available in GIBS within 3.5 hours of observation.  These products and others may also extend from present to the beginning of the satellite mission.  In addition, GIBS makes available supporting imagery layers such as data/no-data, water masks, orbit tracks, and graticules to improve imagery usage.

The GIBS team is actively engaging the NASA EOSDIS data centers to add more imagery products and to extend their coverage throughout the life of the mission.  The remainder of this page provides a structured view of the layers currently available within GIBS grouped by science discipline and science observation.  For information regarding how to access these products, see the GIBS API section of this wiki.  For information regarding how to access these products through an existing client, refer to the Map Library and GIS Client sections of this wiki.  If you are aware of a science parameter that you would like to see visualized, please contact us at support@earthdata.nasa.gov.
