  • Observing the Earth from afar with NASA’s Worldviewstandards based web services with open access to full resolution LANCE and other NASA imagery. Observing Earth from Space Worldview
1
NASA's Worldview interactive web map application delivers global, near real-time imagery from NASA’s fleet of Earth Observing System (EOS) satellites. Within hours of satellite overpass, discover where the latest wildfires, severe storms, volcanic eruptions, dust and haze, ice shelves calving as well as many other events are occurring around the world. Near real-time imagery is made available in Worldview through the Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) via the Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS). This poster will explore new near real-time imagery available in Worldview, the current ways in which the imagery is used in research, the news and social media and future improvements to Worldview that will enhance the availability and viewing of NASA EOS imagery. • Visually explore the Earth as it is “right now” using the Worldview web application. • Users can visualize and download near real-time imagery from LANCE and other sources, non near real-time and historical imagery. • The imagery is served by the Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS) (https://earthdata.nasa.gov/gibs) standards based web services with open access to full resolution LANCE and other NASA imagery. Worldview Observing Earth from Space • NASA’s constellation of satellites orbit the Earth and many satellites provide data and images in near real-time. • The Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) provides near real-time imagery (within three hours of satellite overpass) from NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS) satellites to support application users interested in monitoring a wide variety of natural and man-made phenomena. Source: https://www.nasa.gov/content/esd-nasas-eyes-on-earth Worldview for Research Future Enhancements to Worldview • A|B Comparison: Compare imagery from different dates for the same imagery, or same dates for different imagery. • Vector Support – Be able to pull in vector tiles, change vector colors and symbology, add animated effects on vectors, etc. • Explore current natural events with information from the NASA Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker (EONet) API (https://eonet.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/). • Animate imagery over time. • Explore remote polar regions with the Arctic and Antarctic views.

Fires in Portugal and Northern Spain Mid October 2017; many fires were human induced, but also affected by drought conditions, low humidity and unusually high temperatures. Fires in British Columbia, Canada & Oregon and Washington, USA July – October 2017; some caused by lightning, some human induced. Hurricane Irma Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that formed 30 Aug and dissipated 16 Sept 2017.

Vertical Profile (a.k.a. "Curtain") Data Multiple NASA missions collect data that are best represented as vertical profile. For example, the Cloud Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) detects cloud characteristics through the use of Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), passive infrared, and visible imager instruments. Other examples include products from the CloudSat and MODIS instruments. • Vertical Profiles & Virtual Globe: Vertical Profiles are taking a vertical slice through the atmosphere and looking at the z-axis along an x/y track. Worldview will investigate developing a Virtual Globe to represent this type of data.

Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) via the Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS).This poster will explore new near real-time imagery available in Worldview, the currentways in which the imagery is used in research, the news and social media and futureimprovements to Worldview that will enhance the availability and viewing of NASA EOSimagery.
