Large Order Guidelines

To help ensure the success and timely completion of your order, we recommend that you limit single order data volumes to less than 30 gigabytes.� Processing of orders 30 gigabytes or more in size is likely to be suspended for a period of time while awaiting sufficient system resources, thus delaying receipt. Please consider dividing all orders for data volumes of 30 gigabytes or more into separate orders, each less than 30 gigabytes in size. Orders with granules in a temporal sequence tend to be processed more efficiently than orders consisting of granules that are in close spatial proximity.

To help estimate the size of your order, we recommend using the Order Size Estimator (below).� Note that file sizes do vary within datasets, therefore, the numbers provided in this tool are only estimates.� To see a complete list of available data products and approximate file sizes click here. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact LP DAAC User Services.
