How AI describes NASA Earthdata

NASA Earthdata is the NASA portal for discovering, retrieving, and analyzing Earth science data from NASA missions, distributed across multiple Data Centers and facilities. It provides tools for data search, visualization, and analysis—such as Earthdata Search, Worldview, FIRMS, AppEEARS, Giovanni, and VEDA—and offers near real-time capabilities and topic-based data discovery across Atmosphere, Biosphere, Climate, Ocean, Land, and Cryosphere domains. The site also hosts data policies, training resources, and notices, including a 2026 transition plan advising users to move Suomi NPP data products to NOAA-21/NOAA-20.
