PO.DAAC is transitioning towards a web portal that is content centered, data driven, and provides personalized user experiences that are supplemented with efficient search and discovery capabilities. The first phase of the web portal revitalization showcases a simplified, modernized design and several improvements towards a content, data-driven user experience. This video tutorial showcases the new look and feel and how to navigate the web portal.

The second phase of the web portal revitalization is focused on improving the PO.DAAC Dataset Search and Discovery. This involves integration with NASA Earthdata Common Metadata Repository (CMR). CMR is a high-performance, high-quality, continuously evolving metadata system that catalogs all data and service metadata records for NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) system and will be the authoritative management system for all EOSDIS metadata. CMR metadata records are registered, modified, discovered, and accessed through programmatic interfaces leveraging standard protocols and APIs.  The second video tutorial showcases the improvements in the PO.DAAC Web Portal Dataset Search and Discovery including free-text search, faceted search and filtering, and information displayed on the dataset landing pages.
