NASA's Earthdata Forum Releases New Filter Search Feature

The Earthdata Forum provides a central, online location where data users can interact with subject matter experts (SMEs) to discuss data applications and research needs and to get answers to specific questions about accessing, viewing, and manipulating NASA Earth observation data.

The latest release of the Earthdata Forum (Version 3.3.2) now includes a Filter Search tool. The new feature allows users to search the filter categories of Discipline, Projects, and Services/Usage. This addition helps users easily identify desired options and is beneficial for navigating the growing list of 150+ project acronyms currently available.

Recent notable enhancements include:

• Hover to display filter descriptions
• Auto-save for draft messages
• "Share these results" will auto-copy/paste to clipboard.

Users can search the Earthdata Forum but must log in to ask questions, contribute to existing discussions, and utilize additional features like favorite filters and notifications. Additional information on features and setup are available with the General User Guide located under the Help menu. 

Please direct all questions or any issues you may encounter to Earthdata Support.
