The Data Pool is an on-line data cache that provides a Web interface and
FTP access to select ASDC data products. Specially subsetted and/or reformatted
MISR data products supporting field campaigns are also available.
Passive FTP mode is required to access the Data Pool from the command line
as "ftp -p l4eil01.larc.nasa.gov", where the system translates to
"lower case L 4ei lower case L zero one .larc.nasa.gov".
A UNIX C shell script method may be used to assist in downloading files from
the Data Pool (Readme |
Sample script).
Data files are stored in directories based on data product and acquisition
date. Corresponding metadata files are also available in Extensible Markup
Language (XML) format.
