NASA ORNL DAAC MODIS and VIIRS Data Tools and Services at your Fingertips

The volume and complex format of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) data products often present challenges for researchers who are unfamiliar with remote-sensing data and formats. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center (ORNL DAAC) has developed a suite of user-friendly tools that offer easy retrieval of the data products generated from these sensors.

During this webinar, we will introduce the features and capabilities of the Global Subsetting Tool, the Fixed Sites Subsetting Tool and the Web Services that provide access to user-specified subsets and visualizations of both VIIRS and MODIS land data products.

During the second half of the webinar we demonstrate how to integrate data delivered by the MODIS/VIIRS Web Service with user workflows as well as techniques for filtering the data based on custom data quality criteria. The workflows will be demonstrated with R and Python in interactive Jupyter notebooks.
