NEREIDS is PO.DAAC's near-real-time image distribution server. This server provides satellite browse images within 24 hours of capture and keeps the data in a short-term rolling store.
The images on this server are either generated at PO.DAAC, using data acquired directly from a satellite ground processing system, or are acquired from other data providers. For some images we also provide an option to download the binary data files used to create the images.
The following table is a summary of the browse images that are currently available:
