@tstevens -- I think it is highly unlikely that historic collections will be reprocessed in order to sort out file formats. That is a substantial effort requiring a lot of manual curation, and likely of very limited value.

There is a way to list multiple formats explicitly in the ArchiveAndDistributionInformation CMR element, but that also requires calculating the data volume for each format. For a substantial number of historic datasets, we do not have the specific formats for all of the files -- we can infer them an...

@tstevens -- A fair concern. However, there is already a "not supplied" option. For a significant number of existing datasets, the multiple different formats have not been curated, but are in the User Guide. The underlying problem is that Data Format is a required element in the ArchiveAnd...

Please add "Multiple" as a data format in the GCMD Data Format keyword hierarchy (details and use cases below). This request is from the ORNL DAAC and the Metadata Stewardship team to resolve https://bugs.earthdata.nasa.gov/browse/ECSE-1845. Alternate Label(s): none Definition: The collect...

Today (February 26, 2024) this CMR search -- https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/collections?keyword=*&has_granules=true returns 8493 collections. But if I go to Earthdata Search (https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov) and select only EOSDIS collections, I get 8420 collections. Why are these numbe...

First, thank you for taking care to cite data correctly. A couple more thoughts: * If you've saved a bookmark to the dataset landing page or you have the DOI (which should point to the landing page) that landing page should have the citation, as in this particular SST page at PO.DAAC: https://doi.or...

The Level 3 (gridded canopy metrics; https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/1952 ), 4A (footprint level biomass; https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/2056 ), and 4B (gridded Biomass; https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/2017 ) data are also available through the ORNL DAAC's Terrestrial Ecology Subsetting and Visu...

The ORNL DAAC is pleased to announce that ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Land and Vegetation Height, Version 5 (ATL08) data is now available to in the ORNL DAAC’s Global Subsets tool. Adding the ATL08 data to the Global Subsets tool was enabled by the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Ar...

Note: The issue is addressed in the recently released update to the GEDI L4A, Version 2 data. See the Updated GEDI L4A AGBD Estimates Released announcement for details.

The ORNL DAAC has released version 2.1 of the GEDI Level 4A Footprint Level Aboveground Biomass Density Estimates, produced by the GEDI Science Team: GEDI L4A Footprint Level Aboveground Biomass Density, Version 2.1 This update contains three changes from version 2.0: Corrects a recently discovered ...
