Data Set Progress


Definition

The <Data_Set_Progress> describes the production status of the data set regarding its completeness.  There are three choices:

  • Planned refers to data sets to be collected in the future and are thus unavailable at the present time.  For Example: The Hydro spacecraft has not been launched, but information on planned data sets may be available.
  • In Work refers to data sets currently undergoing production or data that is continuously being collected or updated.  For Example: data from the AIRS instrument on Aqua is being collected continuously.
  • Complete refers to data sets in which no updates or further data collection will be made.  For Example: Nimbus-7 SMMR data collection has been completed.
