Some examples of searching for data using Earthdata Search.

Recurring date example:  searching for all Novembers from 2000 to 2018:

  1.  In the upper left corner of the screen, click the temporal icon (the clock).
  2. In the dialog, check "Recurring"
  3. In the dialog, click in "Start," then click "Nov," then click "1"
  4. In the dialog, click in "End," then click "Nov," then click "30"
  5. In the dialog, adjust "Year Range" to be 2000 - 2018  
  6. In the dialog, click "Apply Filter"

Entering Grid Coordinates: coordinate system options

CALIPSO
Dimensions - Orbit/Path
Enter orbit and path coordinates separated by spaces, e.g. "2,3 5,7 8,8"
Note - Orbit and Path values are not continuous and cannot be used in a range.

MISR
Dimensions - Path/Block
Enter path and block coordinates separated by spaces, e.g. "2,3 5,7 8,8"
Note - Path values are not continuous and cannot be used in a range.

MODIS Sinusoidal
Dimensions - Horizontal/Vertical
Enter h and v coordinates separated by spaces, e.g. "2,3 5,7 8,8"
More info:
"MODIS Land products use the Sinusoidal grid tiling system. Tiles are 10 degrees by 10 degrees at the equator. The tile coordinate system starts at (0,0) (horizontal tile number, vertical tile number) in the upper left corner and proceeds right (horizontal) and downward (vertical). The tile in the bottom right corner is (35,17)."

Dimensions - Horizontal/Vertical
Enter h and v coordinates separated by spaces, e.g. "2,3 5,7 8,8"
More info:
"U.S. Landsat ARD products are processed to a common tiling scheme, and each ARD tile contains 5,000 x 5,000 30-meter pixels. The U.S. Landsat ARD tiling system is modified from the Web-Enabled Landsat Data (WELD)...The U.S. Landsat ARD grid is anchored to coordinates in CONUS, ALASKA and Hawaii"

Dimensions - Path/Row
Enter path and row coordinates separated by spaces, e.g. "2,3 5,7 8,8"
More info:
"The Worldwide Reference System (WRS) is a global notation used in cataloging Landsat data. Landsat 8 and Landsat 7 follow the WRS-2, as did Landsat 5 and Landsat 4. Landsat 1, Landsat 2, and Landsat 3 followed WRS-1.""
