This HLS color-infrared composite image —generated via the TiTiler-CMR API in the Worldview application — shows the area around Cambridge, Maryland.

Tailoring the View: TiTiler-CMR Customizes HLS Imagery in Worldview and FIRMS

The TiTiler-CMR service generates dynamic, on-demand map tile layers that can be incorporated into GIS software and visualization applications. Two NASA mapping applications – Worldview and FIRMS – have harnessed the versatility of this service.

This is an image of infrared brightness temperatures showing Hurricane Mitch on October 26, 1998, at 18:00 UTC. Cloud tops reached frigid temperatures of 196 K, indicating intense convective activity and likely overshooting tops at 16 km altitude. The hurricane’s track is overlaid, with the deepest red symbol marking a central pressure of 905 mb. Mitch remains one of the deadliest Atlantic hurricanes on record, with more than 9,000 lives lost, primarily from flooding in Honduras and Nicaragua.
