SDMI Best Data Layer - BDL

The SDMI Best Data Layer (BDL) is the AlaskaMapped’s attempt at created a ‘best available’ 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
  • ESRI users can easily integrate into their ArcGIS environment using the ESRI layer files
• KML: http://kml.gina.alaska.edu/kml/bdl.kml
• Google Maps, Bing, ESRI, and Open Layers tile formats (plus more):
  • gina-map-layers library
  • See examples at gina mashup
• contact [email protected] for other questions

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