PO.DAAC

As detailed in the 12 July 2021 announcement, the PO.DAAC data archive is being migrated to the NASA Earthdata Cloud, hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS). This transition to the cloud is taking place in several phases.

In an effort to best support the users as they begin transitioning their workflows or data access points to a cloud-based process, PO.DAAC is making the existing datasets from its archive available from and within the Earthdata Cloud as soon as they are available.

We are pleased to announce recently-added datasets in the PO.DAAC State of the Ocean (SOTO) visualization tool.

• Sea Surface Temperature: AVHRR_MetOp-A_L3U_Sea_Surface_Temperature_v2.80_STD (DOI: 10.5067/GHMTA-3US28)
• Sea Surface Temperature: AVHRR_MetOp-B_L3U_Sea_Surface_Temperature_v2.80_STD (DOI: 10.5067/GHMTB-3US28)
• Sea Surface Temperature: AVHRR_MetOp-C_L3U_Sea_Surface_Temperature_v2.80_STD (DOI: 10.5067/GHMTC-3US28)
• Ocean Surface Wind: CYGNSS_L3_Wind_Speed_CDR_Daily_v1.1_STD (DOI: 10.5067/CYGNS-L3C11)

The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the public release of the ancillary data for the (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean) ECCO Version 4 Release 4 (V4r4) ocean and sea-ice state estimate. ECCO ocean and sea-ice state estimates are dynamically and kinematically-consistent reconstructions of the three-dimensional, time-evolving ocean, sea-ice, and surface atmospheric states (ECCO Consortium, 2021).

The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite has recently experienced an anomaly from August 3, 2021 12:46:45 UTC, resulting in a state in which the spacecraft instrument payload was no longer operating and entered into safe mode. All science data are unrecoverable during this safe mode period.
