Nothing about this file jumps out as a problem. Seadas had no problem displaying this L2 file.
Maybe GDAL has a problem with full orbit files that cross the dateline.

You can add a modifier to the product requested to get different values out of the bin file. From the l3mapgen help: product (string) = comma separated list of products. Each product can have an optional colon and modifier appended. For example, "product=chlor_a,chlor_a:stdev,Kd_490:nobs" ...

I can not speak about the error message, but the reprojection looks correct. L1B and L2 products are geolocated, but the lines and pixels are as the satellite saw them. The distortion you see is "most likely" due to OCI tilting in the bottom of your image. You can also notice the glint in ...

The rayleigh correction done by l2gen is different for land and water pixels. If the geolocation of the sensor is off by a bit then you will see a difference on land/water interfaces.

Not sure how useful the time_rec is, but this is what is stored. time_rec is the mean of the time for each pixel added to the bin. Actually, we only use the time for each line. The time is a float of TAI93. That would be the number of TAI seconds since Jan 1, 1993. The normal epoch for TAI is 1958, ...

I had a few problems with the mac and/or the RedHat build server being down while making the "T" tags around that time. The latest tag is T2024.21 and are test tags for a reason. All of the build machines have been working for the last many tags, so a later tag should behave the same on th...

Thanks for pointing the units out. We are deleting the "photons" to make them CF compliant.

Yes, the L2 file format has changed. Since we have not used sub-sampling of the the lat/lon arrays in over 20 years, we decided to simplify the L2 file. This change also gave other 3rd party programs the ability to geolocate the variables (ie. chlor_a) now that they have the same dimensions as lat/l...

The Error you listed does not come from running l2bin. Errors like that come from running calibrate_viirs or geolocate_viirs. using the L2 file that we have on our system for this time period, l2bin runs fine. This is the L2 file the processing system currently has: SNPP_VIIRS.20240619T204201.L2.SST...

Right now the only aerosol option that works with OCI is

aer_opt=-18

I will look into why l2gen is seg faulting. Not nice.
