Abstract:
Striving to keep up with the constantly changing environment, whether physical or computing, NASA Worldview’s interactive web mapping application continues to make improvements to ensure that avenues to near-real time imagery are quick, easy and accessible. This poster will explore recent additions to NASA Worldview and the Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS) of near real-time imagery and imagery visualizations - from geostationary to flood mapping visualizations; improvements to access to imagery - from granule swath visualizations to vector interactions with fires and other types of vectors; and improvements to imagery discovery - from enhancements to the timeline to providing more ways to locate relevant imagery in the layer picker.
