Global Data

• This data is from Earth data and has a number of layers that cover the globe, which can be used in Geocontext. The only issue is, we cannot get the name of the field that must be used when adding the services
• Website link: https://wiki.earthdata.nasa.gov/display/GIBS/GIBS+API+for+Developers
• WMS Link: https://gibs.earthdata.nasa.gov/wms/epsg4326/best/wms.cgi?VERSION=1.3.0

Regional Data
The links below provide service links for data in South Africa and Southern Africa. The service used is an ArcREST service, when adding the services to qgis there is an error in connection.

Most of the global links provided by https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1utQRlrX3lJniBjWE3rNjLZeTRsbjH-zdjxNmXhhvO9Q/edit#gid=46 provide data that needs to be downloaded and perhaps added to a database like PostGIS for example and taken to geoserver to access the data as a service from there.
