Diseases/Epidemics Data Access and Tools
From discovery to visualization, data tools such as Giovanni, Panoply, and Worldview guide users in making the most of diseases and epidemics data.
Featured Diseases/Epidemics Observation Method: MODIS
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flies aboard the Terra and Aqua satellites and can survey Earth every one to two days. The instrument can be used in a variety of ways related to disease emergence and spread including to measure land surface temperatures, assess moisture levels, track human activity levels, and map flooded areas.
Join us to learn how to discover, subset, access and visualize both MODIS and VIIRS data products using a suite of user-friendly tools developed by NASA's ORNL DAAC.
