Imagery—A new set of Moderate-Resolution
Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery
layer maps and layers is available, referencing
a collection of National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) imagery. The MODIS
imagery provides 250-meter, multispectral satellite
imagery of the world that is updated daily. It
has a near real-time (three-hour delay), deep, and
fine-grained temporal archive that helps provide
global and fine temporal context for making
decisions and visual assessments of conditions
for any day and anywhere in the world. This is
a mashup of a NASA image service. The value is
mostly in providing global and fine temporal context;
adding in decision making; or as a quick visual
assessment of conditions any day, anywhere.
