Google Earthengine collelction MODIS/006/MOD10A1 is not generating its product.
The last available i can see is on 2022-06-01. ‘NDSI_Snow_Cover’ , given by it is part
of my solution. What can we do under such circumstances.
Can we use Planetary computer’s source instead generating similar output
Not use it at all
Use previous weeks data if appropriate.
In all cases perhaps some modification to original code will be required?
Yes, you may use the Planetary Computer version of that data. See the Evaluation Stage, where we list that as an approved source. Also relevant from that page:
Following this submission, if any additional code changes are needed during the live evaluation period to ensure successful weekly submissions, these will need to be tracked clearly. Again, no changes may be made to training code or model weights. In order to be eligible for prizes, prize finalists will be required to submit a final code repository which includes clear tracking (code diff) of any changes from their initial code submission and the weekly submissions they apply to.
@leigh.plt it looks the Planetary Computer has data through 6/14 which seems within the normal time range of when it is made available. When do you think it stopped updating?
Thanks for the clarification @leigh.plt. If data was not available from approved sources in a reasonable time frame, we will exclude the week from scoring as we did for the week of 3/3. We will investigate what the best options are for future weeks if version 6 does not get updated.
v6 should start updating again on the Planetary Computer in the next few days. If it isn’t available in time for this week’s submission, we’ll again exclude this week from scoring for fairness. At a minimum, it should be available for the final week.
MODIS v6 products should now be available on Azure blob storage. Note: 6.0 products are not being ingested into the STAC API so direct azure blog storage is the only access route. They should be in the same location as they were before. @leigh.plt can you let me know if you can see them? If you can’t, please let me know where you’re looking.
