Goddard Space Flight Center Land Information System

Land Information System (LIS) is a software framework for high performance land surface modeling and data assimilation.

LIS is led by the Hydrological Sciences Branch
at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center .

LIS software tools are used to develop customized Land Data Assimilation Systems at NASA/GSFC , NOAA/NCEP , and AFWA .

LIS Vision:
  • LIS is an interagency testbed for land surface modeling and data assimilation.

  • LIS allows customized land data assimilation systems to be built, assembled and reconfigured easily, using shared plugins and standard interfaces.

  • LIS enhances the productivity of land surface modelers by allowing them to focus on science rather than technical details.

  • LIS provides a portable, extensible, and flexible infrastructure for testing and transitioning the latest Earth science research into operations with interagency partners.

  • LIS is the land component for several Earth system models.
