Resolved

The Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) will cease distribution of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Version 6 land data products in July. This includes all Terra MODIS, Aqua MODIS, and the combined Terra+Aqua MODIS datasets. These products will no longer be available for search and download from NASA’s Earthdata Search, Data Pool, Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS), or USGS EarthExplorer.

The User Guides and Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBDs) for MODIS V6 data products will be retained and available via the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) landing pages. The DOI landing pages will remain available as a permanent URL for historical information and citations.

MODIS Version 6.1 offers new data products that were not available in Version 6. The complete list of MODIS Version 6.1 datasets is cataloged in Earthdata Search.

MODIS V6.1 data products are available for download through the LP DAAC Data Pool, AppEEARS, Earthdata Search, and USGS EarthExplorer.

Please contact LP DAAC User Services with any questions or concerns.
