Available Services:

The CryoLand Project provides Online Data Access to the CryoLand Snow and Land-Ice Products based on OGC standard interfaces. Beside the Online Data Access via the Interactive Map-Tool the following OGC standard interfaces are provided:

Support has changed to EO-WMS and EO-WCS (WCS 2.0) only!

Due to the large number of datasets offered by CryoLand, baseline WMS requests are not supported anymore, since e.g. a WMS-GetCapabilities Response exceeds any reasonable size (>16MB) and creation time (~20min) for the offered products (~20.000 products). This change, to support only EO-WMS & EO-WCS, implies that only DatasetSeries (often called Collections) are now listed in the GetCapabilities response.

Below you find some example requests, and their syntax, to access the various service interfaces available. Such request may be issued with any Webrowser or other tool able to send HTTP GET requests (e.g. wget, curl, etc.) or from within GIS-Tools (e.g.QGis, etc.).
More examples and further explanations as well as additional parameters and refinement methods available with WCS/EO-WCS can be found in EOxServer's Documentation ( [ Demonstration ], [ Parameters ] ).
General information about the applied OGC standards, as well as the standards documents are provided by OGC.
