Please be informed that GHRSST L4 MUR SST dataset will experience an interruption due to a processing hardware/network upgrade. The production of the dataset is being relocated to a new faster subnet, but this may take a few weeks to complete. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to the users.
The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the release of the SEVIRI-IO Level-3C version 1.0 Sea Surface Temperature (SST) dataset in collaboration with the Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF), EUMESAT. This dataset is in the netCDF format and compliance with the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Data Processing Specification version 2 (GDS2).
Members of the NASA Sea Level Change Team (N-SLCT) were in New York City this July where more than 300 scientists from 42 countries gathered at Columbia University for a week long Regional Sea Level Changes and Coastal Impacts Conference. The international conference was organized by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), Climate and Ocean – Variability, Predictability, and Change (CLIVAR), and the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission and was co-sponsored by NASA.
The PO.DAAC 101 Video on PODAAC Web Portal Navigation has been released. This video tutorial demonstrates how to navigate the basic framework of PO.DAAC webpages to find PO.DAAC data and other resources. The user community can view the video through the following PO.DAAC social media sites:
The first PO.DAAC 101 Video on How to Use OPeNDAP to Access Data is now released. OPeNDAP enables remote datasets to be accessed through familiar data analysis and visualization packages, just as if they resided locally on the user's machine. OPeNDAP handles transport, translation and subsetting of data residing in most Earth science data formats. The user community can view the video through the following PO.DAAC social media sites:

The JPL GRACE Mascon Ocean, Ice and Hydrology Equivalent Water Height (hereafter, Mascon) Version 2 datasets have been recently updated with three additional months to its data time series, which brings the time series up to January, 2017. Users are cautioned that after August 2016, the accelerometer on GRACE-B has been turned off, and an “accelerometer transplant” product (from GRACE-A) has been used in its place. This has resulted in additional uncertainty in the surface mass fields starting in November 2016.
PO.DAAC represents at the 2017 Summer ESIP Meeting in Bloomington, Indiana.
Where does trash on the streets go during a rain storm? A group of scientists set out to discover if fine resolution satellite imagery from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and MODIS-Aqua would be useful for examining the environmental impacts of stormwater runoff in the Southern California Bight.
Please be informed that GHRSST Level 4 MUR v4.0 (netCDF3 format) will be retired from the PO.DAAC in a few weeks. The last day of the available dataset will be on or around the 15th of July 2017. Users are encouraged to use the newest version, GHRSST Level 4 MUR v4.1 (netCDF4 format), which has been fully reprocessed back to 2002.
The v4.1 data can be found here via OPeNDAP:
We are pleased to announce an update to the PO.DAAC State of the Ocean (SOTO) visualization tool: Version 4.1.2 is now available online at https://podaac-tools.jpl.nasa.gov/soto/.
