Access to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Collection 6.1 datasets via legacy, on-premises Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol (OPeNDAP) at NASA's Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) will be retired in a phased approach. As new access links via NASA Earthdata Cloud OPeNDAP are being generated, corresponding legacy, on-premises OPeNDAP access will be disabled. A data alert will be posted as cloud OPeNDAP links are generated for each MODIS product suite.
If you currently access data through the legacy, on-premises OPeNDAP, there are alternative methods available to help you update your data access workflows and scripts:
- Use Earthdata Cloud OPeNDAP: update your data access workflows and scripts to use the Cloud OPeNDAP endpoint. These links can be found in the granule metadata available through Earthdata Search.
- Access data through AppEEARS: MODIS data will continue to be available through the Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS).
- Access MODIS source data: MODIS source data can be accessed directly from NASA Earthdata Cloud. Detailed guides and tutorials can be found at the LP DAAC Data Resources GitHub.
