Data set updates: New NASA Earthdata Cloud access option for MEaSUREs collection available on 27 May 2025

The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) will add 42 data sets from the MEaSUREs collection to NASA Earthdata Cloud on 27 May 2025. Earthdata Cloud, NASA’s archive of Earth observations, is hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS). These data sets will be available via their current URLs and workflows until 26 June 2025. After 26 June 2025, the legacy HTTPS File System URL and Earthdata Search Stage for Delivery (ECHO Orders) will no longer be available. We encourage you to update your direct download workflows and scripts to use the new Earthdata Cloud access URLs. The Earthdata Cloud HTTPS data access URL will be available from each data set landing page using the HTTPS File System link under Data Access & Tools after the publication date.

When data are added to Earthdata Cloud, we will remove the legacy HTTPS File System URL from the data set landing page. However, you can still find the legacy HTTPS URL in our Programmatic Data Access Guide at https://nsidc.org/data/user-resources/help-center/programmatic-data-access-guide.

The NSIDC DAAC User Services Office provides support for direct data download from Earthdata Cloud HTTPS and basic access to our AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets. For more details on these access options, please see: https://nsidc.org/data/user-resources/help-center/nasa-earthdata-cloud-data-access-guide
