The AMSR-E SIPS at the GHRC DAAC would like to announce the expanded availability of AMSR-E near real-time data products through the Land Atmosphere Near-real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE). These near real-time swath and daily products are generally available to registered users within three hours of observation. In order to provide for full system redundancy, the SIPS has implemented a second string ftp server at ftp://lance2.itsc.uah.edu. Users should obtain data from this location in the event that the primary LANCE ftp server (ftp://lance.nsstc.nasa.gov) is unavailable. Both strings are located on the UAHuntsville campus and managed by SIPS personnel, but are located in different buildings and connected to different networks. Redundant processing strings will greatly reduce the possibility of data being unavailable due to system outages.
