Service levels are assigned based on the NASA data processing level and the data product category. The NASA data processing level identifies the nature of the data, from raw instrument data (Level 0) to gridded variable data products (Level 3) to merged data or model output (Level 4).
The six NASA data product categories are:
- Science Mission Products
- NASA-funded Data Products
- Facility Created Products
- NASA Research Community Products
- NASA Applied Science Products
- Non-NASA Research Community Products
More information about these data product categories and corresponding Levels of Service can be found in the Level of Service model document.
