The A-Train Data Depot (ATDD) has been developed to process, archive, allow access to, visualize, analyze and correlate distributed atmospheric measurements from A-Train instruments.  The ATDD portal provides easy on-line data access and services for science, applications, and educational use so that users get exactly the data they want, and not large files of data which would take much time and effort by individuals to be co-registered and refined.

A-Train reconfiguration: Aura phasing; CALIPSO adds 3o pitch; CloudSat moves 5 sec forward. Science benefits...

A-Train Data Depot:

• Facilitates the visibility of participating A-Train missions.
• Provides data previews through GIOVANNI.
• Provides MODIS/Aqua subsets collocated with CloudSat and MLS.
• Is a convenient access point to data from A-Train instruments.

02.12.08 - Aura re-phasing continues as planned; MODIS MLS-collocated subset from A-Train Data Depot discontinued. In accordance with the decision to reconfigure the A-Train formation, the re-phasing of the Aura satellite is progressing as planned. The immediate substantial effect of this maneuver is that the footprint of the MLS retrieved column drifts away from the MODIS/Aqua nadir. + Read More
