NASA's Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) OPeNDAP services provide access to a number of data products at LP DAAC. The Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol (OPeNDAP), developed at the University of Rhode Island, P. Cornillon, provides software which makes local data accessible to remote locations regardless of local storage format. OPeNDAP also provides tools for transforming existing applications into OPeNDAP clients (for example, enabling them to remotely access OPeNDAP served data). View OPeNDAP documentation.

OPeNDAP requires the use of Earthdata Login account. Watch our video tutorial to learn how to sign up for an account.
