Description

The MODIS/VIIRS Web Service provides data access capabilities for several MODIS Collection 6 and VIIRS (Version 001) land products. The web service provides data access functions for users to execute on their local computing resources. The web service is built upon the ORNL DAAC's MODIS/VIIRS Global Subsetting and Visualization Tool that provides customized subsets and visualization of land products for any land location on earth. With the web service users can retrieve land product subsets through command line operations; download and integrate subsets directly into client-side workflows; download and visualize subsets with customized code; and download subsets and write custom code for data reformatting.
