[Earthdata - wxedward]

How can I bulk download data distributed by the LP DAAC?

Bulk download options are available from DAAC2Disk as a script that can be downloaded and executed from the command line. Also, data are available from the LP DAAC Data Pool via HTTPS. Please ensure you have authorized your download method for your Earthdata login account. To accomplish this, log in to your account from the Earthdata Login page, and click on “ Authorized Apps” under "Applications" in the title bar. You will be presented with a list of approved applications. At the bottom of the list click the “Approve More Applications” button. Type in “LP DAAC Data Pool” in the text box and hit enter. In the application search results click the checkbox next to “LP DAAC Data Pool” and then click the “Approve” button. You should be returned to the approved applications page with a green confirmation bar acknowledging your request. Be sure to update your scripts to allow for logging in to your Earthdata login account.

Where is my data order notification?

Typically you will receive a notification that your order was submitted within a few minutes. However, if your order was placed more than 3 days ago and you still have not received a notification from us, please check your spam folder. Also, please add "lpdaac@usgs.gov" to your list of trusted senders to prevent notifications from going to Spam folder in the future. If you have checked your Spam folder and did not receive a notification, please contact LP DAAC User Services at lpdaac@usgs.gov.

What is an Earthdata account and how can I create one?

An Earthdata Login account provides a single access point for user registration and profile to manage all EOSDIS system components (DAACs, Tools, and Services). Your Earthdata Login account helps the EOSDIS program understand how users are using EOSDIS services and this aids in helping improve the user experience through improvements to tool customization and services. The Earthdata Login account is available at no charge to the user and provides open access to EOSDIS data free of charge.
