SOTO Moving to New URL

The new web address is part of the SOTO visualization tool's transitioning to the cloud.

The Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center's (PO.DAAC) State of the Ocean (SOTO) visualization tool is moving to a new URL: https://soto.podaac.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov/. SOTO is transitioning to the cloud and will no longer be available at its current URL. To access SOTO after the transition, please update your bookmarks to use the new URL by May 31, 2023.

The new SOTO is powered by NASA Worldview and based on a cloud-native implementation. SOTO includes many new features, such as:

  • Viewing images in polar projections
  • Sharing and downloading images displayed on the map in multiple formats
  • Finding the source data by linking directly to the in Earthdata Search Client
  • Sending feedback via a link in the information menu for asking questions or reporting problems

We encourage you to take some time to familiarize yourself with the new SOTO, and appreciate your support during this transition. 

Please email the PO.DAAC User Services Team with any questions, or visit PO.DAAC on Earthdata Forum.
