We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

LITE Data Access and Tools
Data from NASA’s Lidar In-Space Technology Experiment (LITE) provides measurements on clouds, tropospheric and stratospheric aerosols, characteristics of the planetary boundary layer, stratospheric density and temperature perturbations, and to some degree, surface topography. Explore LITE datasets and relevant data tools.
