Data Retiring
Issued
Aug. 17, 2026
Resolved

Due to the recent discovery of issues within the data, all Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Version 2 Actual and Potential Evapotranspiration data products will be decommissioned and removed from the archive. This includes the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP), NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 data products in the Referenced Datasets section below.

The Suomi NPP and NOAA-20 products that were previously available in AppEEARS have also been disabled and are no longer available to users.

This data should not be used in any research or application as it has been deemed to not be of science quality. Upon resolution of the identified issues, Actual and Potential Evapotranspiration Data Products data will be reprocessed as Version 2.1.

More detailed information can be found here. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please contact NASA’s Earthdata User Services with any questions.
