Master List of Bad and Missing Data

This list provides details regarding instances when data were either problematic in some way, or were not received by the SMAP Science Data System (SDS). This list covers data spanning from 31 March 2015 (the beginning of Science Phase) to present, and will be actively maintained by the SDS until the end of the SMAP mission. Note that radar data began at half-orbit 864D and radiometer at 865A.

  • To find orbit numbers and composite release IDs (CRIDS) in SMAP file names, see the File Name Examples.
  • To identify products in the Description column, or to access data and documentation, see Data Products.
  • For more information on CRIDs and version history, see the SMAP Data Versions page at the NSIDC DAAC
  • When the SDS resolves issues that had caused bad data, the affected data files are regenerated using a new CRID.

Description of the TYPE field

TYPE DESCRIPTION
Missing Instrument was off or in Safe Mode or data were not received from the ground station.
Bad Data were determined to be bad after production, have been removed from the data archives, and should not be used.

Note: As composite data products, Level-3 and Level-4 data with bad half-orbits can also contain valid data and therefore may still be available.

Description of the DATA STREAM field

DATA STREAM DESCRIPTION
Radar Radar-based granules.
Radiometer All radiometer-based granules, including "standard" and "enhanced" products.
Enhanced Radiometer Only the "enhanced" radiometer-based granules, not including "standard" products.
