Full-disc Earth imagery from JAXA / JMA's Himawari-9 geostationary satellite, updated throughout the day. Six spectral bands — true colour, infrared, and composite — show weather systems, dust, vegetation and ocean patterns across Asia-Pacific in real time.
Near-real-time visuals with a processing delay of a few minutes to several hours. Data from the satellite's sensor pass is processed, georeferenced, and tile-served before delivery. GIBS VIIRS True Color and Himawari full-disc images fall into this category — typically 1–6 hours behind the actual satellite pass.
Instant or near-instant unprocessed feeds, typically used in defence, maritime, and operational weather monitoring. The MET Norway weather layer and NASA EONET disaster events approximate real-time by fetching the latest available data point on demand, without a pre-cached tile delay.
A combination of both — interactive tile layers (NDVI, GIBS, WorldCover) updated on satellite pass schedules, and on-demand data pulls (weather, disasters, Himawari bands) that fetch the freshest available data at the moment of your visit.
Public tile services (NASA GIBS, ESA Terrascope) are accessed directly — they are free, keyless, and designed for client-side use. All other API calls (EONET, MET Norway weather, Himawari harvest) are routed through AWS Lambda functions, so upstream endpoints and any credentials stay entirely server-side.
