Operations News: December 20, 2019

We have completed development of the new Version 3 processing system. All data from the past 20 years will be reprocessed in Version 3. The V3 reprocessing is expected to continue well into 2020 before we are finished. The V3 data download link will be made public by Spring 2020. See the V3 Reprocessing Status page for current reprocessing updates.


Operations News: September 25, 2018

Version 3 recalibrations and reprocessing will begin soon. Browse imagery will remain available, but V3 downloads will not be available until later this year. Version 2 data are being translated into Version 3 file formats and reprocessed now. The sections below contain more details on these activities. See our MPLNET product information page for more details on our V3 and V2 Products. See our MPLNET version information page for more details on MPLNET version history.


MPLNET Version 2:

All older V2 data have been translated into V3 file formats according to the mapping plan available on the MPLNET product information page. All V2 data are available from the download portal. The link below contains a table of available V2 data by year/site.

NOTE: processing status "DONE" indicates that the archived data exist and have been reprocessed. "DONE" does not necessarily mean data are available for download. Final calibrations may not have been possible/applied, or some other problem exists preventing the data from being downloaded. Plots of all data are still visible in the data browser.
