I have been informed that the plan to switch MetOp-A into TOAST to replace SBUV was unsuccessful. They are terminating production of TOAST If you have version of SeaDAS that looks for TOAST ancillary data, it is time to upgrade.

There were two concurrent problems:The expired certificates were the cause of the NSIDC sea ice data outage. They corrected that this morning.The TOAST situation is not as simple.The data provider has recently been unable to generate the TOAST grib product due to unavailability of SBUV retrievals in...

NSIDC allowed their certificates to lapse. Once they get their server functioning,  we will resume data production.

The data provider was unable to generate the TOAST grib product for 2020/05/02 due to unavailability of SBUV retrievals in the Southern Hemisphere for that day.  They also informed us of the following:  "I would like to give everyone heads up that we are planning to stop making TOAST ...

I have contacted our provider to see if they can recover the missing source file.
The raw .bin file is on the NOAA server, so it should be available soon.

Because of the timing of the spacecraft orbit, the refined SST granules for March 31st require some data from April 1st, which will not be processed until the April refined ancillary data are released in mid-May.  Expect data for March 31 in the coming week.The refined-ancillary versions of the...

just a suggested temporary workaround.

If you append the bz2 and retry, they should be compressed now.

Tommy

There was a recent change to the timing of the compression. Where previously the L0 were compressed on ingest, now the compression is deferred and occurs on the archive. This is creating a race where the uncompressed file gets listed for subscriptions before the compression happens. We are looking i...

There is a significant delay (15-30 day) between the availability of the NRT SST data and the Refined data, so data may be missing at the leading edge of the stream. Occasionally, A hiccup in the system may result in a missing file or two. Better to have the code prepared for missing data than not.T...
