Global / regional

Global cloud-free coverage is available in-house from our own Satellite Imagemap, based on AVHRR weather satellite data down to a pixel size of one kilometre. Other global satellite data includes clouds, night-time lights, ocean bathymetry and temperature.

Moderate resolution data is available at a pixel size of 250 metres from MODIS and Landsat. Individual images can be mosaiced to give cloud-free coverage of regions or continents.

The image samples below are full-resolution extracts from cloud-free or nearly cloud-free images. Full images are typically several thousand pixels across. Generally speaking, a sensor showing more detail (with a smaller pixel size) will cover a smaller area of ground in each image.
