SDMI Best Data Layer - BDL

The SDMI Best Data Layer (BDL) is the AlaskaMapped’s attempt at created a ‘best avaialble’ imagery base layer from the SDMI archive.

This layer is made up of a variety of datasets with a scale dependent visibility for what data is presented.

The BDL is available in a variety of formats:

  • WMS: http://wms.alaskamapped.org/bdl
  • KML: http://kml.gina.alaska.edu/kml/bdl.kml
  • Google Maps, Bing, ESRI, and Open Layers tile formats (plus more):
    • documentation todo contact info@gina.alaska.edu for details

The easiest method for figuring out what data is currently being shown on the BDL is to use the WFS.
