Description

The LAADS DAAC is pleased to announce a soft release of two products from two recent NASA airborne campaigns. They include the Enhanced MODIS Airborne Simulator (eMAS) Level-1B datasets from GSFC Lidar Observation and Validation Experiment (GLOVE) and Level-1B datasets from the PACE-Postlaunch Airborne eXperiment's (PACE-PAX) Push-broom Imager for Cloud/Aerosol Research and Development (PICARD) instrument. The GLOVE field campaign includes data from four observation days between February 12 and 20 in 2025. The PACE-PAX field campaign includes data from fourteen observation days between August 29 and September 30 in 2024.

A soft release allows users to directly access and download these data products but cannot search for or discover them via the LAADS DAAC's search and order interface or through the Earthdata portal. Users may access and download these two data collections via the following referenced URLs:

  1. GLOVE eMAS L1B
  2. PICARD L1B

We expect to provide formal landing pages for these collections by the early part of 2026. Users may consult the following referenced sites that are relevant to these two collections:
