Future Level 2 Data Subscription Access
Posted: Mon May 04, 2026 2:52 pm America/New_York
Dear OBDAAC,
At present we have many subscriptions with you for level 2 VIIRS-, Aqua- and Terra-derived SST and Chl products for several different regions. Considering your migration to Earthdata Search and cloud-based delivery, do you foresee any near-term changes to your subscription delivery process? We presently use wget to pull data based on subscription ID. Will this ability be phased out or can we continue to retrieve data via this method? If changes are coming, any advance notice you can provide will be much appreciated. If you have already posted or informed on pending changes, please point me to the links, URL, etc.
Many thanks,
Mark
