NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near Real-Time Capability for EOS (LANCE): Delivering Data and Imagery to Meet the Needs of Near Real-Time Applications

[摘要] NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) is a virtual system that provides near real-time EOS data and imagery from the AIRS, AMSR2, LIS (ISS), MISR, MLS, MODIS, MOPITT, OMI, OMPS, and VIIRS instruments, to meet the needs of scientists and application users interested in monitoring a wide variety of natural and man-made phenomena. NRT imagery from LANCE are available through NASA's Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS), Worldview, FIRMS and most recently through Worldview Snapshots – a low band width application that has replaced the Rapid Response Subsets. Over the past year: data and imagery from the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on board the International Space Station (ISS), OMPS and VIIRS-Land have been added to LANCE. In the coming year LANCE will integrate the MODIS NRT Global Flood product, VIIRS Black Marble nighttime lights and Cloud Mask and Aerosol Dark Target from VIIRS Atmosphere. Here we provide a brief overview of LANCE, focusing on what's new and describing how these new data sets have been used to monitor lightning flashes, hurricanes and fires.
