Access to Selected Land Remote Sensing Data http://glovis.usgs.gov What is GloVis?

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis) is a browser-based utility that provides easy access to a subset of aerial photography and satellite data available from the USGS/EROS archive. GloVis is a quick search and order tool for aerial photography and satellite data. Collections include NAPP, NHAP, ASTER, EO-1, Global Land Survey, Landsat Archive, Landsat Legacy, Landsat MRLC, MODIS Aqua, MODIS Terra, MODIS Combined, and TerraLook data sets. Through a graphic map display, a user can select an area of interest and immediately view all available browse images within the USGS inventory for a specified location. Additional features exist to optimize searches within large collections. The help menu provides user-friendly access to information about browse images, links to product information for selected collections, and a detailed user guide for all levels of users. The GloVis source code also can be downloaded and modified to support local data collections.
