By: LP DAAC

The distribution of Aqua and Terra MODIS Water Reservoir Monthly Global Version 6.1 data products has been temporarily suspended due to errors with the evaporation rate at a few reservoirs. Users can continue to use the Aqua and Terra Water Reservoir 8-Day L3 Global data products (MYD28C2 and MOD28C2) in the interim.

A link for the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) landing page for each MODIS dataset impacted by this issue is provided below.

  • MODIS/Aqua Water Reservoir Monthly Global V061 – MYD28C3
  • MODIS/Terra Water Reservoir Monthly L3 Global V061 – MOD28C3

Processing and distribution will resume when the necessary updates to the algorithm have been implemented. Users are encouraged to sign up for the LP DAAC listserv by sending a blank email to lpdaac-join@lists.nasa.gov for future notifications about data availability.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please contact LP DAAC User Services with any questions or concerns.
