User notice: SMAP in Safe Mode

On Monday August 8, 2022 the SMAP observatory entered a safe-mode which is designed to maintain its essential functions but stops science data acquisition. The Project team is investigating the cause of the anomaly and actively working on resuming operations and continued science data acquisition. The NSIDC DAAC archive will not have science data products during this period. However, generation of the model-based Level-4 products continues until further notice without SMAP observations.
