The main goal of the IEM is to archive data and then provide that data for download on the website. The featured chart displays the daily archive size of the imagery and data files stored. Some labels are shown when new datasets were added to the archive routine that significantly increased the daily archive size. The current daily archive is around 15 gigabytes in size, which is many times greater than that of just a few years ago. Thankfully, data storage continues to decrease in cost and the ability to archive many terabytes per year is tenable.
