Earthdata Forum

Hello,

About two weeks ago (10/10/2024), I could find PACE-OCI AOD Dark Target and Deep Blue product from the "Advanced" tab and manually downloaded it on https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search/ with the EarthData credential.
But yesterday, when I tried to download the file, it showed "Status: 403 Forbidden Apparently, you did not have privileges to access the requested filename."
Does anyone know the status of the PACE-OCI AOD products?
Is it closed the permission for any updates of the product?
Thanks for any information regarding this.

The Dartktarget and Deepblue products from the PACE OCI instrument were test products and not intended for general distribution. They have been removed from visibility to avoid confusion and potential misuse. The PACE Project Science folks are currently evaluating a unified algorithm product for distribution. This product will carry the heritage of Darktarget and Deepblue, but will be tailored to the bands available with OCI. We anticipate a provisional release of this product in November.

Regards,
Sean

Thank you, Sean.
It is helpful, I will revisit it once the product is available.
