GIBS Available Imagery Products
100+ full resolution, global imagery products from NASA Earth Observing System satellites are continuously ingested from LANCE data providers and other sources, then mosaicked, and finally served in near-real time (<3.5 hours latency) by the Global Imagery Browse Services. This includes products from the MODIS instruments aboard Terra and Aqua, the AIRS instrument aboard Aqua, and the OMI and MLS instruments aboard Aura.
MODIS, AIRS, and OMI holdings begin at 2012/05/08 and run through the present. MLS holdings begin 2013/05/09 and run through the present. We are actively working to build our archive to include earlier dates
Access to this imagery is provided via Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Tile Service (WMTS), Tiled WMS (TWMS), and Google Earth KML generation as described in the Access Methods section.
A machine-readable listing of available products can be generated via:
These products can be then be viewed in the Worldview client or a number of other supported clients.
A sample listing of available products is provided here for convenience:

[1] This layer is a single composite of data from nine days in April 2012 and 13 days in October 2012. It does not vary over time.
[2] This is a static layer and does not change over time.
[3] This value refers to the resolution of the imagery. In many cases the actual instrument or measurement resolution is coarser.
[4] The Geographic projection is WGS84 latitude/longitude, EPSG:4326. The north Polar projection is NSIDC Sea Ice Polar Stereographic North, EPSG:3413. The south Polar projection is Antarctic Polar Stereographic, EPSG:3031.
