Aura Data Products
The data from Aura’s four instruments are transmitted from the satellite ground stations and thence to the EOS Data and
Operations System (EDOS). From there the raw data from HIRDLS, MLS, and OMI are sent to the Goddard Distributed
Active Archive Center (DAAC); raw data from TES are sent to the Langley Research Center (LaRC) DAAC. Each Science
Investigator–led Processing System (SIPS) receives data directly from the DAACs and processes it to produce scientific
data such as profiles and column amounts of ozone and other important atmospheric species. Each instrument team monitors
the data products to ensure that they are of high quality. The data products are then sent back to the DAACs, where they are
archived. The DAACs are responsible for distribution of the data to scientists all over the world. Researchers, government
agencies, and educators will have unrestricted access to the Aura data via the EOS data gateway. Data seekers can search
for, and order data from, any of the EOS DAACs.
