HyperDAAC

Welcome to the HyperDAAC!

The HyperDAAC offers a range of Global 1KM Data products from the LandDAAC (Distributed Active Archive Center) at EDC. If you are not yet familiar with this HyperDAAC product, we suggest you start by reading the Archive Overview.

The data are presented using WebÞing's HyperLens® software as viewer. In addition, a primitive Web browser (based on Sun Microsystems' HotJava^TM Bean) is included as a reader for HTML help and documentation.

Gallery

The Gallery offers a small selection of images in tiff format, suitable for viewing in more-or-less any image viewer. The "small" images are the big ones reduced to a maximum of 1024 pixels width or 768 pixels height. The largest is a whole-world image at 1Km that will make a poster over 3 metres (10 ft) at 300 dpi if you can print it!
