The following is a list of data related services that the GES DISC provides our users to help them get the most out of our data resources. None of these services requires the user to download or install any software. A list of tools provided by the GES DISC, which do require the user to download and install software, can be seen on our Data Tools.
Currently Available Data Services
The GES-DISC Interactive Online Visualization ANd aNalysis Infrastructure (Giovanni) is the underlying infrastructure for a growing family of Web interfaces that allows users to analyze gridded data interactively online without having to download any data. Through Giovanni, users are invited to discover and explore our data using sophisticated analyses and visualizations.
Please see our Giovanni interface description page for a full description of Giovanni interfaces.
The information on this page is provided to the Open Source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol (OPeNDAP) users. Assuming the users with OPeNDAP clients, the information shown here will direct you to the locations where OPeNDAP enabled data are stored.
Some datasets are available for on-the-fly conversion to NetCDF, making them easy to use in such tools as GrADS, Panoply, IDV and McIDAS-V.
S4PM-DME (S4PM Data Mining Edition) provides data mining capability, allowing users to run their own data mining algorithms on data at the GES DISC. Users first upload algorithms into the S4PM-DME system and then mine for data through the GES-DISC’s Web site. S4PM-DME allows algorithms to first be tested against small amounts of data before running on the full data record.The output is placed in an FTP holding area, with a daily email to the user with the pickup directory and the number of files.
On-demand subsetting services are available for many AIRS data products and other datasets provided by the GES DISC via our online search and order interface.
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Server (WMS) is an interface that allows the use of data and enables clients to build customized maps with data coming from different networks.
Several data tools are provided to help users fully utilize and manipulate GES DISC data products. The tools have been researched, tested, and enhanced if needed to handle the HDF and HDF-EOS data formats. This software is freely available and can generally be downloaded via the Web. The HDF-EOS Tools and Information Center provides links to additional tools and resources that are not listed on this page, but that you may find to be useful. We encourage you to send us information about your tools and the types of applications and data sets you use.
