Land Surface Data Access and Tools
NASA data provide key measurements of Earth’s land, allowing researchers to accurately understand its composition, processes, uses, and interactions. Our datasets and tools help researchers translate these interconnected data points into actionable knowledge.
Land Surface Data Tools
| Tool Sort descending | Description | Services | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASF MapReady | Terrain-correct, geocode, and apply polarimetric decompositions to multi-pol SAR data | |
|
| RTC Stack Processor | The radiometric terrain correction (RTC) stack processor tool facilitates time-series analysis of such phenomena as flooding events, deforestation, or glacier retreat. | |
|
| SDAT | The Spatial Data Access Tool (SDAT) is an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards-based web application to visualize and download spatial data in various user-selected spatial/temporal extents, file formats, and projections. | |
|
| VEDA | NASA's Visualization, Exploration, and Data Analysis (VEDA) project is an open-source science cyberinfrastructure for data processing, visualization, exploration, and geographic information systems (GIS) capabilities. | |
|
| Worldview | Worldview offers the capability to interactively browse over 1,200 global, full-resolution satellite imagery layers and download the underlying data. | |
