Abstract:
The USGS Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis) is a quick and easy online search
and order tool for selected satellite data. The viewer allows user-friendly
access to all available browse images from the Landsat 7 ETM+, Landsat 4/5 TM,
Landsat 1-5 MSS, EO-1 ALI, EO-1 Hyperion, MRLC, and Landsat Orthorectified data
sets, as well as Aster TIR, Aster VNIR and MODIS browse
... images from the DAAC
inventory. Through a graphic map display, the user can select any area of
interest and immediately view all available browse images within the USGS
inventory for the specified location. From the browse image viewer page, the
user may either navigate to view adjacent scene locations or select a new area
of interest. GloVis also offers additional features such as cloud cover limits,
date limits, user-specified map layer displays, scene list maintenance, and
access to metadata. An ordering interface is available for Landsat, EO-1, MRLC,
Landsat Orthorectified, ASTER and MODIS data purchases. Future GloVis releases
will include the addition of data from other sensors within the USGS EROS
archives.
