Hi Tyler,

Have these instrument keywords been added to GCMD? PACE launched on Feb 8, 2024 and we have collections files ready to send for these now. They will be ready to accept operational granules very soon, so we'd like to verify the keywords exist so users can get support for these instrument data when they are available.

[GCMD - tstevens]

@OB.DAAC - amscott Yes, these Instrument keywords have been added to the GCMD keyword list and are available for use.

[OB.DAACx - amscott]

Thanks for confirming!
