While Worldview uses OpenLayers as its mapping library, GIBS imagery can also be accessed from Cesium, ArcGIS, GDAL, several other clients. Worldview uses NASA's Global Imagery Browse Services ( GIBS) to rapidly retrieve its imagery for an interactive browsing experience.

Users can preview and download imagery in different band combinations and add overlays on the imagery of active fire detections, coastlines, borders, and roads.

Browsing on tablet and smartphone devices is generally supported for mobile access to the imagery.Īlso available is Worldview Snapshots, a lightweight tool for creating image snapshots from a selection of popular NASA satellite imagery layers. Arctic and Antarctic views of many products are also available for a 'full globe' perspective. These full disk hemispheric views allow for almost real-time viewing of changes occurring around most of the world. These are provided in ten minute increments for the last 90 days. Geostationary imagery layers are also now available. View current natural hazards and events using the Events tab which reveals a list of natural events, including wildfires, tropical storms, and volcanic eruptions. This supports time-critical application areas such as wildfire management, air quality measurements, and flood monitoring. Many of the imagery layers are updated daily and are available within three hours of observation - essentially showing the entire Earth as it looks 'right now'. The Worldview tool from NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System ( EOSDIS) provides the capability to interactively browse over 1000 global, full-resolution satellite imagery layers and then download the underlying data.
