Re: Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS): What is GIBS?
Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS) are a set of standard services to deliver global, full-resolution satellite imagery in a highly responsive manner. GIBS serves LANCE near real-time imagery (imagery available within 3 hours of satellite observation), MODIS science imagery from the beginning of the Terra and Aqua missions to present, as well as many other imagery layers. Its goal is to enable interactive exploration of NASA's Earth imagery for a broad range of users. Visit the GIBS Wiki for more information about GIBS and how to use it; stay up-to-date with GIBS through the GIBS Blog.
