Abstract
NASA’s Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (Earth Observing System) (LANCE) provides global data and imagery from the Terra, Aqua and Aura satellites in less than 3 h from satellite observation to meet the needs of the near real-time (NRT) applications community. Science quality, or higher-level “standard” products are made available within 8–40 h of observation but application users, operational agencies, and even researchers often need data much sooner than what routine science processing offers. This chapter describes the architecture of LANCE and modifications made to achieve the nominal 3-h latency requirement.
