From March 20, 2024, the NOAA-20 satellite is executing the rephasing maneuver, which takes approximately 15 days. During this time, NOAA-20 will not meet its orbit requirements. Users should exercise caution when using NOAA-20 science data. Some missing granules and data degradation are expected. NASA's Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) archives mainly the sea surface temperature (SST) datasets from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aboard NOAA-20.
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.
