ATTENTION

This is a LEGACY RESOURCE. It is no longer maintained but is usable with minor adjustments. This resource leverages NASA's Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis-Ready Samples (AppEEARS). AppEEARS has been deployed in NASA's Earthdata Cloud space. You can access AppEEARS using the new link: https://appeears.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov/. For up to date information on using the AppEEARS API and examples, please see the AppEEARS API Documentation. If you have questions, please contact LP DAAC User Services (lpdaac@usgs.gov).


Summary: The NASA Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS) brings efficiency to your scientific workflow through its ability to subset, reformat, and reproject in one step. View this webinar to learn more!


This webinar is an introduction to using NASA's Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS) to access and extract Earth Observation data from multiple federal archives. Demonstrations include how to use AppEEARS to make precise data extractions for specified bands/layers and time ranges for point locations or areas of interest, and how users can leverage the built-in exploratory data visualizations to gain insights into the data before downloading.
