• NSIDC DAAC is currently upgrading our data ingest process for NASA Earthdata Cloud. During this transition, users may notice temporary interruptions in data availability or notice small data gaps. All gaps will be resolved as quickly as possible. During this upgrade jpeg browse imagery will also not be available for preview in Earthdata search. Please reach out to NSIDC User Services with any questions or concerns.

  • The AMSR2-based NSIDC-0802 and NSIDC-0803 data sets have been updated to Version 2 and are now available from 01 January 2023 to present. Version 1 data products will be retired on 29 September 2025. After that date, data access will only be available for the newest version.
