Hi Jennifer, I believe the aerosol type is in the Status QA SDS layer. Bits 9-10 are referred to as AOD Type. The 3 types are: 00=Background aerosol 01=Smoke 10=Dust Please see pages 10-12 of the User Guide for more information: https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/1500/MCD19_User_Guide_V61.pdf Let us ...

Hi Kim-Cedric, The HLS providers are just beginning to process the pre-2021 Sentinel data into the HLS data set. The Sentinel 2 data has been reprocessed and is now compatible with the HLS. The plan is to begin with the 2020 data and work back to 2015. It is scheduled to be complete this fall. Thank...

Good Morning,
Do you have a particular MODIS data set(s) you are interested in? I am looking in our Data Pool and I do not see missing data, at least of the products I checked.
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Maye, Sorry for the delay, we needed to get direction from the GEDI Science team on this, fowwlowing is their response: The two data layers that you have indicated, “num_detectedmodes” and “selected_mode”, are only part of the bigger picture here. The “num_detectedmodes” layer is simply a count o...

Hi, The latest that we hear is that back processing will resume in February and be complete by the end of the year. The Sentinel data was reprocessed so that access to the data will be much less problematic which will make the processing of the HLS Sentinel go much smoother. Thanks for your patience...

Good Morning, The MYD13A2.A2018361.H28v06.061.2022004082359 uses the last 4 days of 2018 and the first 12 days of 2019. So in fact there is some overlap where acquisitions from several days are used in 2 consecutive composite period. Day 9, 10, 11, and 12 of 2019 (and every year) are used to average...

Hi,
The date is TBD, depending on the data availability. We will post when we have more information on the release of the next version of GEDI data. We will also have a better idea of when AppEEARS can be made compatible with the GEDI.
Thanks,

Hi It has been too long and we don’t exactly remember why we didn’t attempt to include a dynamic 30arc second land/water mask in the MCD43D (and VNP43D) CMG products – (other than attempting to save archive space, which was more of an issue a decade ago), but we have some vague idea that we thought ...

Hi Dave,
Sorry for the processing delay. I think with the different sensor issues processing got hung up a little bit. However, over the last 3 days 13 days of data has been archived. Thanks for your patience.

Hi, It has been challenging attaining the the Sentinel archive. This is the latest we have heard: We’re working on acquiring the historical S2 data and hope to have the full HLSS30 archive available by end of FY23. We’ll start with September 2020 and work back to 2015. Please let us know if you have...
