Global Visualization Viewer

The USGS Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis) is a quick and easy online search and order tool for selected satellite and aerial data, including ASTER Level 1B images. The GloVis homepage presents the user with a browse image viewer, menu bar, and navigation controls. Clicking the map defines an area of interest and displays color browse images for the selected sensor. The default resolution for the ASTER browse view is 1000 m, with zoom options of 400 m and 155 m (single scene). GloVis provides access to all archived L1A browse images, as well as the entire L1B Data Pool archive covering the U.S. and territories. All users may order scenes contained in the L1B Data Pool. Only NASA Approved Users may use GloVis to order scenes from the L1A archive. A USGS registered username and password are required to order any scenes through GloVis, whether from the L1B Data Pool or L1A archive. Users can register for a USGS account via the EarthExplorer website: https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/register/.
