The l2gen code has supported these ancillary files since 2018, but we've also modified what we were storing in the MET file since the original implementation. A safe bet is V2019.3 (which was supported by SeaDAS 7.5.3), as that is the tag that supported the last SST reprocessing (which required the ...

Well, that's likely the problem. The installer scripts that comes with the SDTPK package were written for the CSH shell (thus it is listed as a requirement for building OCSSW - see https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/build_ocssw/). Without it, your system will not be able to build the toolkit. Try installi...

The OBPG is the processing center and while we do distribute the data, the PO.DAAC is the archive center. Here's a link to the PO.DAAC page on the MODIS-Aqua 9km product (which has a tab for citation :D ) https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/MODIS_AQUA_L3_SST_THERMAL_MONTHLY_9KM_DAYTIME_V2019.0 Regar...

Currently, the source code for the science data processors is available publicly only through the install_ocssw package distributed with SeaDAS. Visit https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/downloads/ and scroll down to "Manual installation". (it can also be installed via the GUI...) We are working ...

The file you listed (and likely the 13 others you found) were flagged for bad quality, but after the CMR record was generated. The ocean color L1/2 browser and our download tools knows about this flag and so stubbornly refuse to show the file. The CMR records have been scheduled to be removed (there...

Whether or not I use the password credentials in the wget command, the result is a file with the .nc extension: Yes. The wget program has no idea what filetype is being sent, just that you requested some file (with a .nc extension) and some data was sent to you (so it saved it to a file with the na...

To answer the question about needing (or not) to pass username/password to wget for the SST data download...you do need to do so. Did you look at the file you downloaded without the credentials? What I'm pretty certain you will find is that it is NOT a netCDF file, but rather an HTML file that is th...

It's not you, or the code. There is some bad orbit data from 1/31. If we get updated att/eph data that corrects the problem, the data will be reprocessed (you'd need to pull the updated files, but I do not know when or even if they will be available). If you look at https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.g...

The binner cannont bin the flags because they are a bitwise value that cannot be expressed as a floating point value. The binner uses the l2_flags to exclude data during the binning process - which is what the options you defined in the graph were doing for the band maths step. The flaguse parameter...

The NSIDC-based SEAICE files have been deprecated and are no longer produced. We now use the sea ice fraction field in the CMC SST file to set the flag. The l2gen icefile option accepts this file.
