**NDVI value conversion&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**(Fixed)**</mark>

Fixed an issue where requests for NDVI with "in" units would result in cm to in unit conversion.

<summary><mark style="color:blue;">v2.3.0</mark> (12-09-2025)</summary>

**Release of CONUS data&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Addition)**</mark>

Asset versions 2.1+ now contain data for all 48 contiguous states.

**Addition of 'version' parameter to raster endpoints&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Addition)**</mark>

OpenET now supports a new 'version' parameter. This change ensures reproducibility and backward compatibility by letting users and systems access legacy assets exactly as they existed in earlier work—so prior research, experiments, or deployments continue to run and can be audited/replicated without breaking changes.

**Release of new Geodatabase&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Addition)**</mark>

Field IDs are now returned as 11-digit numerical codes. Old field IDs may be retrieved via `/geodatabase/metadata/ids` and specifying `"version": 2.0` in the request body.

**Pre-2000 Added to Public Data Catalog&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Addition)**</mark>

Data is now available for years predating 2000, only with version 2.1+ assets.

<summary><mark style="color:blue;">v2.2.2</mark> (09-22-2025)</summary>

**Release of initial version 2.1 raster collections&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Addition)**</mark>

Non-monthly asset collections are updated to the new v2.1 collections containing data post-July 2025.

<summary><mark style="color:blue;">v2.2.1</mark> (06-13-2025)</summary>

**2024 Added to Public Data Catalog&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Addition)**</mark>

OpenET monthly model datasets are now available for 2024 in the Google Earth Engine public data catalog.&#x20;

**Geodatabase Queries&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Improvement)**</mark>

The latest updates have significantly reduced latency for large queries, resulting in an average speed improvement of 6.8x or 85% less time for large geodatabase returns.

**ETo & Pr Resampling&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**(Fixed)**</mark>

Fixed an issue which prevented the resampling of 4km to 30m reference ET and precipitation.  &#x20;

<summary><mark style="color:blue;">v2.1.1</mark> (01-14-2025)</summary>

**2000-2007 Added to Public Data Catalog&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Addition)**</mark>

OpenET monthly model datasets are now available from 2000-2007 in the Google Earth Engine public data catalog and are now accessible through the API. &#x20;

**Quota Overpass Raster Stack Bug&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**(Fixed)**</mark>

Fixed an issue where requests count would over estimate number of cloud free days of overpass data.&#x20;

**Export Resolution Handler&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Addition)**</mark>

Data now exports more efficiently at native satellite resolutions for variables like ETo and Pr.

**Count Variable&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Model Only Addition)**</mark>

Added support for retrieving the number of cloud-free satellite observations using the `count` variable in OpenET models. This feature is available exclusively for monthly model collections and not the model ensemble.

**Example:** The image below demonstrates the average monthly coverage for 2023, with the number of observations ranging from 1 (<mark style="color:red;">red</mark>) to 6+ (<mark style="color:blue;">blue</mark>).

**Model Count Variable&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Ensemble Only Addition)**</mark>

For the monthly Ensemble collection only, view the number of models contributing to each observation using the `model_count` variable.&#x20;

**Example:** The image below demonstrates the average monthly model inclusivity coverage for 2023, with the number of observations ranging from 1 (<mark style="color:red;">red</mark>) to 3 (<mark style="color:orange;">orange</mark>) to 5+ (<mark style="color:blue;">blue</mark>).

**Precipitation Bug&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**(Fixed)**</mark>

Fixed a bug where resampling would run into issues in masked regions along the west coast.&#x20;

**Account Initialization Bug&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**(Fixed)**</mark>

Fixed a issue which would add additional latency when querying across multiple accounts. This will result in overall faster queries.&#x20;

**Raster Queries Timestep Increase&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Improvement)**</mark>

Enhanced memory handling for daily raster data retrieval via the multipolygon endpoint. Users can now retrieve data for up to **366** timesteps (previously limited to 62), enabling more comprehensive analyses. Be wary of running into memory limits for complex or large areas.&#x20;

**Daily Data Interpolation with different Date Ranges&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**(Fixed)**</mark>

Fixed a bug where the API would return a different value for interpolated data depending on the date range.&#x20;

**FRET Stack Bug&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**(Fixed)**</mark>

Fixed a bug where the API would return only the first day of a forecasted reference ET.&#x20;

**Geodatabase Queries&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**(Improvement)**</mark>

The latest updates have significantly reduced latency for large queries, resulting in an average speed improvement of 1.6x for all geodatabase returns.

**Quota Max Area Bug&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**(Fixed)**</mark>

Fixed an issue where if a query exceeded the users quota an incorrect error message would return.&#x20;

**Upload geoJSON&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**(Fixed)**</mark>

Fixed a bug when using the account/upload endpoint in which the resulting call to retrieve the file would fail during high volume server autoscaling.&#x20;

<summary><mark style="color:blue;">v2.0.3</mark> (04-05-2024)</summary>

#### Forecasted Reference ET <mark style="color:blue;">(Addition)</mark>

Using NOAA's FRET product eto data can now be queried for 7 day forecasts. Change `reference_et` to `"fret"` and `date_range` to the current day and 7 days into the future. Note this is experimental and has not yet been fully evaluated for accuracy.&#x20;

#### Raster Point & Polygon Daily Data Increase <mark style="color:blue;">(Improvement)</mark>

We've increased the limit from 365 days to 10 years. With large polygons, you can run into memory limits with this update.&#x20;

<summary><mark style="color:blue;">v2.0.2</mark> (03-12-2024)</summary>

#### Megaliter Calculation <mark style="color:red;">(Fixed)</mark>

When using the multipolygon endpoints the hectares and megaliter calculations were off by a factor of 10.  &#x20;

#### Personal Bucket Export <mark style="color:blue;">(New Feature)</mark>

Exports to a personal Google Bucket are now supported. This new parameter supersedes drive exports even if your Cloud Project is linked. See [faq](https://openet.gitbook.io/docs/additional-resources/faq "mention") for more details.&#x20;

<details>

<summary><mark style="color:blue;">v2.0.1</mark> (02-09-2024)</summary>

#### Export Return `queue_number` <mark style="color:red;">(Deprecated)</mark>

Calculating queue placement has become too slow with the latest updates to the Earth Engine API and our growing user base. This return feature has been removed which will on average result in a 42x time reduction when exporting files.&#x20;

#### Geodatabase Precipitation <mark style="color:red;">(Fixed)</mark>

In some areas precipitation data preloaded in the geodatabase was incorrectly projected resulting in erroneous data.&#x20;

</details>

<summary><mark style="color:blue;">v2.0.0</mark> (10-03-2023)</summary>

#### Duplicate Drive Folder <mark style="color:orange;">(Bug)</mark>

When exporting files to Google Drive, the export folder may be duplicated. As far as we are aware, this is a bug within the latest version of Google Earth Engine's API. Try creating the folder before exporting.&#x20;
