PACE Data Products Now Available in NASA EGIS

Posted on Wednesday, December 17, 2025 at 12:00:00

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) users asked, we listened! 10 PACE data products in service of ocean, atmospheric, and terrestrial applications are now provided through NASA’s Earthdata GIS (EGIS) imagery services and discoverable via Esri’s ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. This effort directly bridges PACE data with the broad domain of applied GIS end users for the first time.

NASA EGIS services provide a centralized access point to cloud-native, GIS-ready data that complies with ArcGIS and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards, facilitating easy integration of data directly from NASA into users’ GIS-based workflows. Through NASA EGIS and the Living Atlas catalog, GIS users can access analysis-ready PACE observations to analyze, create maps, and develop applications within ArcGIS (licensed software from Esri), and the products can be accessed as visualizations with QGIS (free software).

This initial EGIS release includes 4 ocean, 5 land, and 1 atmospheric PACE imagery services. Products are global, 8-day composites at varied spatial resolutions from 2 to 11 km. Both heritage data types utilized by remote sensing data users over the past decades, such as ocean chlorophyll-a concentration (chl-a) and the terrestrial normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), as well as all new, advanced products only from PACE are provided. Read descriptions of each of these imagery services here and visually explore all imagery services together as map layers here.

We encourage users interested in these data products to explore them and learn more via the resources below. If you have feedback on our current services or what additional PACE data would be useful to you, please let us know. Stay up to date on future capacity building events, mission updates, and updates on our services over time through our PACE Community email list.
