Good evening folks!I recently upgraded OCSSW on our processing machine by callinginstall_ocssw.py --install-dir=/marine-services/ocssw/ -b v7.5 --aqua --viirsnon 9/16/2019 around 6 PM EDT. Since then the getanc.py script has not been working for us when called with a start time, for example:getanc.p...

gnwiii,

That worked perfectly. Thank you for the quick & effective reply!!!!

When I try to process A2019255174500.L1A_LAC using the modis_GEO.py command it fails like so:MODIS GEO version 6.1.0, built Nov 17 2018 15:44:32scan: 0 out of 203 Thu Sep 12 16:47:04 2019scan: 10 out of 203 Thu Sep 12 16:47:04 2019scan: 20 out of 203 Thu Sep 12 16:47:04 2019scan: 30 out of 203 Thu S...

Is there any way to determine the byte size of a file on your data server using the file_search, getfile or other cgi tools?We have cases where we want to ignore files below a certain size. It would also be nice to compare the remote and local file sizes to verify that the file wasn't truncated....

Brock,

It looks like the download issue you're seeing is affecting everything not just the ancillary data.

On a whim I checked our other subscriptions (which are all for L2 data). It looks like we stopped downloading any new data between 15:00 and 17:00 UTC yesterday (8/8).

When I try to download data with the getfile api it fails with an error of the form$ wget --no-use-server-timestamps --read-timeout=10 -O /tmp/A2019219181000.L1A_LAC.bz2 https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/getfile/A2019219181000.L1A_LAC.bz2--2019-08-09 02:58:51--  https://oceandata.sci.gsfc...

I'm getting the following error on two different computers when running l2gen on a MODISA granule...Loading DEM info from /marine-services/ocssw/share/common/ETOPO1_ocssw.nc-E- /home/seadas/ocssw/src/l2gen/sstref.c : Unable to initialize SST file/marine-services/ocssw/var/anc/2019/212/N2019212_S...

If I have an L2 SST granule with the day_night_flag set to "Mixed", is there a method to determine which pixels within the granule are day vs night vs dusk?

Is the answer any different for VIIRS NPP vs VIIRS N20 vs MODISA?

-Andrew L.

Sean,Thank you, as always, for your helpful hints. I tried with the straylight flag and while it removed almost all of the cloud contamination (yaay!) it also dropped more pixels than we would like :(.You said the flag is based on reflectance at 869nm - is that rrs_869, rhos_869, the cloud_albedo pr...

Hi again SeaDAS'ers :)Is there a way (or ways) to adjust the cloud flag determination in l2gen to be "more aggressive" in flagging cloudy pixels? I'm finding that we're getting contaminated data (for the purpose of our algorithm) at / near the edge of cloudy areas.In case it ma...
