Please be informed that the Ocean Biology Processing Group at Goddard Space Flight Center (OBPG/GSFC) is scheduled to experience a Power Outage during building maintenance work over the coming weekend, Saturday 10/27/2012 – Sunday 10/28/2012 inclusive. This will disrupt data flows of AQUARIUS and MODIS products from OBPG over this period. PO.DAAC will be up and continue to serve these data sets, however, the latest processed data files will not be available until after OBPG resumes operations.

Users are encouraged to halt any automated processing software for data access on those days. We will follow-up with a further announcement if the outage dates are extended or if the situation changes.

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.
