OperationId:environment_nasa_gibs_layer_layer_id_time_range

Available timestamps for the layer. Preferentially fetches the per-layer Domains XML (authoritative, cached 6 hours) which NASA GIBS generates from the backing tile index. Falls back to the intervals declared in the WMTS capabilities document if Domains is unavailable. Intervals follow ISO 8601 (start/end/period with P1D daily, P1M monthly, P8D 8-day, etc). Multiple intervals indicate instrument gaps. Data: NASA GIBS / NASA Earthdata (US public domain).
