In preparation for the upcoming release of MetOp-B ASCAT data, the existing FTP/OPeNDAP layout and location for the MetOp-A ASCAT datasets will undergo a slight change effective this Thursday, 13 June 2013 at approximately 16:00 PDT (23:00 UTC).

For the FTP site, all existing MetOp-A ASCAT dataset basepaths will change from ftp://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/allData/ascat/preview/L2/

to the new basepath: ftp://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/allData/ascat/preview/L2/metop_a/

For OPeNDAP, all existing MetOp-A ASCAT dataset basepaths will change from http://opendap.jpl.nasa.gov/opendap/allData/ascat/preview/L2/

to the new basepath: http://opendap.jpl.nasa.gov/opendap/allData/ascat/preview/L2/metop_a/

These changes will also be reflected on the PO.DAAC web portal: http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/

Please make note of these changes and anticipate up to 1-hour of downtime during the transition.
