Earthdata Download is an application designed to download large amounts of data from Earthdata Search with as few clicks as possible. It seeks to improve the experience of Earth science data users by:
1) providing a native solution for downloading data via Earthdata Search
2) eliminating the need for users to individually select multiple granules or write a script to grab all the granules to complete a download.
We've enabled bulk download functionality using Earthdata Download in Earthdata Search's User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environment. Before we release this functionality to production, we invite DAACs to test the Earthdata Download's MVP feature set as it relates to their use cases for accessing data via Earhdata Search. The Earthdata Download MVP feature set includes the ability to:
This test's goals are to solicit DAAC feedback on the bulk download workflow using Earthdata Download and identify showstopper issues before it is released to production.
DAAC testing window: Tuesday, May 28th - Tuesday, June 11th
Test Environment
Testers will use the Earthdata Search UAT environment: https://search.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/search.
Note: An Earthdata Login account in the UAT environment is required to perform this test. To create one, go to https://uat.urs.earthdata.nasa.gov/users/new.
Test Data
Finding downloadable data in UAT can be difficult due to its use as a test environment. If you can't find viable data in UAT for testing, use the collections listed below.
