The OB.DAAC data distribution servers will be undergoing maintenance on 2 Mar 2016 between 10am and 4pm Eastern Standard Time.Access to the data via the oceandata.sci.nasa.gov site and the data browsers on oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov will be impacted.The actual outage is expected to be less than 30 min...

Terra spacecraft entered safe mode at 14:33:17 GMT on 18 Feb 2016  (day 049) during an inclination adjustment maneuver.  This caused the MODIS to enter safe mode as well with the nadir and the space-view doors closed. Terra MODIS was transitioned to science mode on 24 Feb 24 2016 (day 055).  Though ...

The Terra spacecraft entered safe mode on 18 February 2016 at 1433z. The Terra Flight Operations Team is currently investigating. While in safe hold, no science data are collected. Additional information will be provided as it comes available. UPDATE - 23 Feb 2016: All planned spacecraft recovery ac...

As of 09 February 2016, all files affected by the storage server failure have been recovered, verified and full access has been restored.

On Monday, 01 February 2016, one of our many backend storage servers suffered a catastrophic hardware failure.  Due to the nature of the failure, recovery of the data may take several days.  While MOST of our data are still accessible, users may find that requests for data will randomly fa...

Not for general release, yet.  The l2gen code has been modifed to process hyperspectral data (using HICO as the guinea pig),but we've not put the required tables out yet as they are not yet finalized (and they're massive, so we only want to do it once...)As for can the GUI tell you whic...

We do not have access to an "El Capitan" system, so are unable to test the binaries on it.
Once we get access, we'll see what's up (or is it down...).

Dear Ocean Color Users, The Ocean Color web services will be migrating all services that require user authentication to the NASA’s Earthdata Login (User Registration Service, URS,https://urs.earthdata.nasa.gov/).   This includes the Ocean Color Forum, near real-time data subscriptions, data ordering...

The Ocean Biology Processing Group generates a near real-time rolling 3 day Level 3 product. This product is intended to serve as a "quick look" providing more spatial coverage than is available in the daily Level 3 product. Unlike the daily product, these rolling 3 day products are not re...

MODIS Aqua Ocean Color reprocessing is now in progress, with completion anticipated late June.  Old HDF4 product will continue to be produced until at least 6 July.
