LP DAAC
Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center
NASA's Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) ingests, processes, archives, documents, distributes, and supports NASA data products related to land processes collected by Earth observing instruments including the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS); Earth Venture Class instruments aboard the International Space Station including the Ecosystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS), the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar, and the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) imaging spectrometer; and mission-derived products created by NASA-funded investigators such as Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS).
LP DAAC provides data crucial to the investigation, characterization, and monitoring of biological, geological, hydrological, ecological, and related conditions and processes. In doing so, it promotes the interdisciplinary study and understanding of Earth’s integrated systems.
Several tools and services are available for searching, downloading, and ordering data from LP DAAC. Users may obtain all data products distributed by LP DAAC by using NASA’s Earthdata Search. Point and area sampling can be completed for a variety of data products from LP DAAC and for geospatial data products from other federal archives using the Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS). Users may also acquire data via HTTPS by directly accessing LP DAAC’s Data Pool.
