NASA's Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) will be performing necessary security maintenance on their database infrastructure that will require a temporary service outage. This maintenance ensures the continued security and reliability of our systems and is necessary to apply critical Red Hat Linux operating system and database security updates. These updates will address recently identified security vulnerabilities, enhancing the overall security posture of our database infrastructure and protecting NASA data.

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.
