NOAA/NESDIS Cooperative Research Program (CoRP) Annual Science Symposium POSTER ABSTRACTS

RealEarth is a data discovery and visualization platform developed at the Space Science and engineering Center at the University of WisconsinMadison to support outreach and collaboration efforts of scientists. This poster introduces RealEarth and provides information about its features. What began as an effort to bring near real-time weather information and land remote sensing visualization together in one intuitive map interface has expanded to offer timeseries animation of aerial photography and early warning notifications for hazards and severe weather. The core infrastructure is comprised of 12 servers hosting 18 virtual machines (VMs), but its federated and modular architecture is extensible and scalable. New VMs are added regularly. Now over 550 imagery products are processed and available for display at any given time.
