The USGS Earth Explorer is a similar tool to the USGS Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis) in that users search catalogs of satellite and aerial imagery. The USGS Earth Explorer is the new and improved version. The USGS Earth Explorer gives some extra capabilities ...
1. Downloading data over chronological timelines.
2. Wide range of specifying search criteria.
3. A long list of satellite and aerial imagery to choose.
4. Explore one of the largest databases of remote sensing data and create some of your own land cover classification.
The USGS Earth Explorer interface uses Google Maps. You can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel as if you are in Google Maps. Google street view is also enabled, where you can drop a marker and get a real view of the location. Users can double-click the browser to create regions of interest. The region of interest (ROI) is the geographic boundary that limits the search to acquire data.
