List NASA GIBS satellite imagery layers (catalog)

Paginated catalog of NASA GIBS layers parsed from the upstream WMTS capabilities document (4.93 MB XML, cached 24 hours). 1236 layers are published on the default epsg4326 projection, spanning MODIS, VIIRS, AIRS, OMI, OMPS, CERES, AMSR, SMAP, MERRA-2, TEMPO, MISR, Landsat, and more. Filter by q (substring against identifier and title), format (image/png, image/jpeg, application/vnd.mapbox-vector-tile), and projection. Sugra does NOT proxy binary tiles. Data: NASA GIBS / NASA Earthdata (US public domain).
