Welcome to the Data Pool at the Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC). The Data Pool is an online archive that provides FTP access to selected LP DAAC data products. ASTER Data Pool coverage includes the United States and Territories. MODIS coverage is global. For theseTerra and Aqua sensors, there are several data types available at no charge through the Data Pool. MODIS daily products are retained for 4 days, all others for 12 months. There is no scheduled removal cycle for ASTER products.

A simple 'drill-down' web interface is used to quickly locate data of interest. Metadata and most browse data can be viewed directly in your browser. Data granules can be downloaded via ftp. If you are new to the Data Pool, please read Data Pool Help and Release Notes to get a quick overview of the 'drill-down' interface. Note that the contents of the Data Pool will not always match the contents of the EOS Data Gateway. If the desired data is not found in the Data Pool archives, try searching the EOS Data Gateway (EDG). Missing granules cannot be inserted into the Data Pool archive.
