Hi Kevin, This is a nice dataset, and since it includes a time dimension for some layers I've updated the MapBuilder Time Series demo to use this server. It also allows zoom/pan functions which is nice (the previous NASA server we used in this demo only served fixed size images). I have an instance of it available at:
http://geoservices.cgdi.ca/mapbuilder/demo/timeSeries/index.html Click on the "NASA EO" link then select a dataset to load and press the play button. Hopefully this won't put too much load on your servers, but it definitely makes for a good demo.
