Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)

IMPORTANT: Information on the switch from FTP to HTTPS - Please update your download scripts.

- The new HTTPS access to NRT data is available at https://nrt4.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov for testing.

Until Monday November 5th, FTP download will be available on both NRT3 and NRT4.

- The HTTPS server on NRT3 will also continue to use the existing legacy system until November 5th.

- On or after November 5th, 2018 the HTTPS server on NRT3 will be converted to the same code as NRT4.

For scripted/automatic downloads please the instructions at https://nrt4.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/help/downloads.

MODIS data outages and known issues
Near Real-Time (NRT) versus Standard Products
Data provider: MODIS Adaptive Processing System (MODAPS)

The LANCE-MODIS has released an improved version, Collection 6.1 (C6.1), for all MODIS Level-1 (L1) and higher-level Level-2 (L2) & Level-3 (L3) Atmosphere Team products.

The decision to create a new improved Collection 6.1 was driven by the need to address a number of issues in the current Collection 6 Level-1B (L1B) data. These L1B issues had a negative impact in varying degrees in downstream MODIS Atmosphere Level-2 (L2) and Level-3 (L3) products.

All MODIS L1 and Atmosphere product users are encouraged to switch over to the C6.1 products. Please note the change in URL from allData/6 to allData/61. Users who use a script to download data will need to adjust their script.

NRT3 URL for C6.1 products is ftp://nrt3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/allData/61/
NRT4 URL for C6.1 products is: ftp://nrt3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/allData/61/

The C6 L1 and atmosphere products will continue in parallel with the C6.1 collection processing and be made available on ftp://nrt3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/allData/6/ until the end of November 2017, at which time, only C6.1 of Terra- and Aqua-MODIS L1 and atmosphere NRT products will be available.

Collection 6.1 Land Products

Starting in November 2017, C6 Land processing stream will use the C6.1 L1B as input, with no change to the land science processing algorithms. We do not expect to see any significant impact to most of the land products by using upstream C6.1 as inputs except for some minor differences in Terra MODIS snow and sea-ice products because of differences in the Terra cloud mask. Therefore C6 processing of NRT Terra- and Aqua-MODIS Land products will continue until sometime next year (probably around middle of 2018) when C6.1 processing of Land products will start. Therefore, NRT MODIS Land product users should continue to use C6 product at ftp://nrt3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/allData/6 or ftp://nrt3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/allData/6
