The Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) is a United States Geological Survey data management, systems development, and research field center It serves as the national archive of remotely sensed images of the Earth's land surface acquired by civilian satellites and aircraft.
The launch of GOES-N, which was renamed GOES-13 after attaining orbit. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES), operated by the United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service division, supports weather forecasting, severe storm tracking, and meteorology research.
Landsat 9 is an Earth observation satellite launched on 27 September 2021 from Space Launch Complex-3E at Vandenberg Space Force Base on an Atlas V 401 launch vehicle. [3] NASA is in charge of building, launching, and testing the satellite, while the United States Geological Survey (USGS) operates the satellite, and manages and distributes the data archive. [4]
A USGS gauging station on the Scioto River below O'Shaughnessy Dam near Dublin, Ohio. The USGS operates the streamgaging network for the United States, with over 7400 streamgages. Real-time streamflow data [16] are available online.
The data itself is saved in a Quadtree. It uses data from NASA, USGS, the CIA and the city of Osnabrück. One of the strengths of Earth3D is the capacity of showing meteorological phenomena, like Low-pressure areas, anticyclones, etc. in near-real time. [2] The original version of Earth3D was developed using Trolltech's QT framework.
[18] [19] The early warning system was developed in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and is based upon USGS's ShakeAlert system. [20] While the two systems are distinct, USGS and NRCan share processing software, algorithms and real-time data. [21] [22]
The National Elevation Dataset (NED) consists of high precision topography or ground surface elevation data (digital elevation model) for the United States. It was maintained by the USGS and all the data is in the public domain. Since the 3D Elevation Program came online, the NED was subsumed [1] into The National Map as one of its layers of ...
Landsat 8 is an American Earth observation satellite launched on 11 February 2013. It is the eighth satellite in the Landsat program; the seventh to reach orbit successfully. . Originally called the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), it is a collaboration between NASA and the United States Geological Survey (USG
