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.

DSCOVR Data Access and Tools
Data collected by NASA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) help forecasters protect infrastructure systems on Earth in advance of a solar storm. Explore DSCOVR datasets and learn more about relevant data tools for the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology Advanced Radiometer (NISTAR).
