AbstractThe unique position of the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Distributed Active Archive Center (GES DAAC), as an intermediary between users and Terra and Aqua/MODIS data, let us to explore and develop tools that could help users access and manipulate data. The search and order tools include DAAC-unique extensions such as: the Web-based hierarchical ordering mechanism, the multi-product ordering system, and moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) Level 1B channel subsetting. Visualization and data manipulation tools, exemplified by HDFLook_MODIS, resulted from a joint collaboration between GES DAAC, University of Science and Technology, Lillie, and MODIS Science team; furthermore, simple interactive data language (IDL) tools were developed at GES DAAC as work aids. The key features of some of the improved tools available from the GES DAAC are described.
