On Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (USA Mountain Time), AMSR-E, ICESat/GLAS, MODIS, and NISE data are normally unavailable for ordering due to system maintenance. However, on the first Wednesday of each month, these data will be unavailable for ordering from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (USA Mountain Time).
Important! Please read the User Acknowledgement on ICESat/GLAS Data Releases before ordering ICESat/GLAS data.
Release-31, Release-29 and Release-28 data are currently available from NSIDC. We recommend you work with the latest release for each product which is the highest release number and includes several improvements to product algorithms. See the Current Release Schedule Web page for more information. As a new Release-31 campaign is received, the corresponding Release-29 or Release 28 campaign will no longer be available for ordering.

Note: Spatial searching is disabled for GLA01 and GLA02. The orbits for GLA01 and GLA02 are predicted orbits and do not show any target-of-opportunity pointing. The GLAS science team decided not to enable spatial searching for these two products in the EOS Data Gateway because of a potentially large number of false negatives. If you order GLA05 to GLA15 data granules (which support spatial searching) and you require matching GLA01 or GLA02 granules, please note the data times and/or file names from the GLA05 to GLA15 granules. Use these times to perform your search for GLA01 and GLA02 granules.
