Hi Jakob,
Thank you! I will keep an eye out for that. I still have issues with the N,S,E,W box location (without segmentation fault) if I try using earlier ocssw versions (e.g. V2022.0). Should this be something I can get around in the meantime by downgrading to an earlier version?
Thanks,

Hi Seadas friends, I recently updated seadas and am attempting to run l2gen on some MODIS Aqua files from 2024. L2gen produces a Segmentation fault when using the north=, south=, east=, west= options, similar to this post: https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/viewtopic.php?t=2619 I tried following the l...

Hello ocean colour folks, I have been making 1 km SST layers by downloading night-time MODIS-Aqua L2 SST images, and binning / mapping into composites with SeaDAS. However the non-uniformity flags result in valid pixels along SST fronts and gradients being removed. This removes quite a lot of data i...

Hey Sean,

Thanks for your answer! I'll adjust the CHLWARN flag for future. I agree this would be a super useful feature esp at the L2/L3 binning stage for a variety of products.

Cheers, happy halloween ,

Hey gnwiii, As I understand you're saying that a threshold is maybe a bit too simplistic a way to remove values. In this case I'm using regular flagging but even so in my region of interest (BC coast), at 1 km resolution many pixels on the continental shelf in the chlor_a product are very high (> 60...

Hey forum, Apologies if there is an obvious answer. Is there a simple way to remove high chlorophyll-a values before they are included in binned images and composites? I am making daily, 8day and monthly chlor_a composites at 1km resolution using L2Bin > L3Bin > L3Map on downloaded and reprocessed L...

Okay, thanks for the clarification Sean! Definitely did not realize the change in bounding box search system.
Cheers

I'll just tack onto this question to ask if the CMR Search website has an estimated date it will sync with the oceancolour site? For MODIS-Aqua both R2018 and R2022 Level-2 files are there, but a number of files from the R2022 processing are still missing. Attached is an image of the 2003 R2018 L2 f...

Thanks Sean, for next time I'll make sure SeaDAS is updated first....

I wonder if the working / not working has something to do with spatial coverage in the bands used. Regardless, thanks for looking. Cheers

Hey Sean, Thanks for looking. Yeah, that file does produce a GEO file with a "1"...lots of those in 2006/2007. I re-checked and this file still fails for me with 3x3 but passes with 7x5 (accting for the "1" in the GEO file :) ). With 3x3: Loading SSES table from /home/hilborna/oc...
