New NASA Earthdata Cloud access option for the MODIS Version 6.1 collections available on 18 March 2025
The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) will add 22 data sets from the MODIS Version 6.1 collections to NASA Earthdata Cloud on 18 March 2025. Earthdata Cloud is NASA’s archive of Earth observations, hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS). While these data sets will continue to be available via their current URLs and workflows, these legacy access methods will be retired soon. Therefore, users are encouraged to update their direct download workflows, including any data download scripts, to use the new Earthdata Cloud HTTPS location after 18 March 2025. 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. More information be found on the NSIDC website.
