Combining the two sources it is implicitly implied that L is the only level 1 physical variable, everything else is level 2. Thanks!

As for suggestions, I reckon some tacit examples of data levels in the documentation would be of great use.
Thank you once again!

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of the documentatiton, but the term "geophysical" is still too vague to me and doesn't really help me place radiance and/or reflectance into level 1 or 2...

Hi! I'm having some trouble grasping the distinction between data levels and actual physical interpretation of data. Say we are talking about chlorophyll concentration: level 1 would include both radiance L (power of the light radiation at specific wavelength per unit solid angle per unit area) and ...

Hi all! I'm trying to download some files from the GHRSST Level 4 MUR Global Foundation Sea Surface Temperature Analysis (v4.1) set via the download script. However, upon entering my credentials I get this message: ./dl.sh: command substitution: line 47: syntax error near unexpected token `(' ./dl.s...

Thanks for the advice!

So L1 data is radiance, but the L0 is still a bit vague to me, at least physically.

"Production Data Set (PDS) is the raw instrument package" would that be the measured product of photovoltaic/photoelectirc effect?

Thank you!

Hi! I have a question regarding the nature of Level 0 and Level 1 data as described in the "Data Processing Levels". What exactly is "Reconstructed, unprocessed instrument and payload data" at Level 0? Is it electrical signals (voltage, frequency...), and is Level 1 data then rad...

Thank you very much!
I'll compare this method with post-download extraction, see what works best for me.

Thank you once again!

Hello! Is there a way to modify the downloading script to automatically extract desired region using python? I've figured the "order" of the URLs when downloading data for the whole globe, but is there a way to download pre-extracted data, as opposed to extracting the region after download...

Thanks for your reply! I will look into it.

But the thing that worries me is, when the bin file is opened in Python using xarray, I get the result posted in the images. It's almost as if the file is "empty", but it's not.

Figured it out. nan files was data over land, or missing data. Everything works fine. :)
