NASA GIBS and Worldview: Bringing 20 Years of Terra Data into ViewFor nearly 10 years, the NASA Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS) and Worldview interactive mapping site have provided users full resolution visualizations of Terra land, cryosphere, ocean, and atmosphere science parameters available within hours of acquisition. Over that time, GIBS and Worldview have expanded their Terra visualization suite to include even more parameters covering the entire mission of science data. Users can now view daily visualizations of nearly 50 near-real time and over 125 science quality science parameters from Terra instruments. These visualizations provide a unique capability for a broad user base to interact and discover the wealth of information sense by instruments on the Terra platform. By viewing Terra-based visualizations in a single location, users can correlate retrievals across instruments. Additionally, GIBS and Worldview include visualizations from many other platforms, allowing for an even greater data discovery capability.The GIBS and Worldview teams continue to work with Terra instrument science teams to add more visualized layers, as well as supporting visualization updates as the data is continually improved. Additionally, the GIBS interfaces and Worldview site are actively working on improved visualization functionality, including vector- and granule/swath-based products, to better address the expanding needs of its user community. This presentation will focus on an overview of existing and future visualization products and capabilities that have supported, and will support, a broad use of Terra data in science, media, and application communities.
