Data Pool

The Data Pool at the Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) is an online archive that provides FTP access to selected LP DAAC data products. The ASTER Data Pool provides access to all Level 1B scenes acquired over the United States and territories. A simple 'drill-down' web interface is used to quickly locate data of interest. Metadata and most browse data can be viewed directly in your browser. Data granules can be downloaded via ftp. If you are new to the Data Pool, please read Data Pool Help and tutorial (pdf 8MB) or (ppt 25MB) to get a quick overview of the 'drill-down' interface. Note that the contents of the Data Pool will not always match the contents of the GDS IMS or Reverb. If the desired data is not found in the Data Pool archives, try searching the GDS IMS or Reverb. Missing granules cannot be inserted into the Data Pool archive. A summary of ASTER data access policies is available from the LP DAAC: https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/aster_policies.
