From 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (USA Mountain Time) Wednesday, February 10, AMSR-E, ICESat/GLAS, MODIS, and NISE data will be unavailable for ordering due to system maintenance.
AMSR-E data are available from five sources: the Data Pool, the Warehouse Inventory Search Tool (WIST), Preliminary Data, the SNOWI, and Subscription. The following table provides a link to each data source and also gives an explanation as to what each data source offers; thus, explaining why you may want to use one data source over another data source. The highest version number represents the best quality data available.

Data Source Information |
Data Pool |
The Data Pool provides direct File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access to the NSIDC Earth Observing System (EOS) data, including the entire archive of AMSR-E data. It also offers users the HEG - HDF-EOS to GeoTIFF Conversion Tool, which allows users to reformat, re-project, and perform subsetting operations. |
WIST |
The Warehouse Inventory Search Tool (WIST) can be used to access the entire archive of AMSR-E data, as well as data from a wide variety of other instruments and other Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) data centers and other data providers. The WIST also allows for parameter and spatial subsetting. |
Preliminary Data |
Preliminary versions of AMSR-E Level-2 and Level-3 data are available via FTP. Registration is required to access the data. |
SNOWI |
The Search 'N Order Web Interface (SNOWI) can be used to access the entire archive of AMSR-E data. It is an easy interface to use and allows a maximum of 1500 granules per order. SNOWI only searches NSIDC data and does not offer subsetting. |
Subscription |
Subscribe to have new AMSR-E data automatically sent via FTP to your local server or staged on NSIDC's FTP site when the data become available. |
