Dear EarthData Forum,

sorry for bothering you again.
I've seen that the VNP15A2H v002 (VIIRS/NPP Leaf Area Index/FPAR 8-Day L4 Global 500m SIN Grid V002) data of 2026-05-09 are not available in https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search nor in https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/virtual-directory/collections/C2545314545-LPCLOUD/temporal/2026/05 yet.

Do you know if there are issues on these data?

Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Diego

Hi Diego,
We have not heard that there are any problems with the VNP15A2. Right now, it is 5 days beyond the final day of that composite period, which is longer than normal. We think it may have something to do with the recent issue with the Suomi NPP and they are playing catch-up. We are contacting the data provider to see if there are any issues, and if so I will let you know.
Thanks,
Brett

Dear Brett,
many thanks for your reply and for the information.
I've just seen that the data are now available.
Best regards,
Diego
