Terra MODIS experienced a data outage stemming from the Science Formatter Equipment (SFE) Assembly. All data between time stamps 2017/114 0320 and 2017/114 1950 are unavailable and likely unrecoverable. Level 3 daily products remain unavailable since the beginning of the outage because of post outage data recovery and QA/QC procedures. However, Level 2 products have been recovered and are available outside of the aforementioned time stamps. If you have any questions, please contact NSIDC User Services at nsidc@nsidc.org.
