Order Data


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.
