Here is the description for the 3-dimension “Retrieval_Failure_Metric” in a MOD06_L2 granule: short Retrieval_Failure_Metric(Cell_Along_Swath_1km=2030, Cell_Across_Swath_1km=1354, RFM_nband=3); :long_name = "Retrievals and other information for points that failed to retrieve via standard soluti...

We checked and for the VNP13A1 and VJ113A1 for June 17, 2024 the tiles you asked about are all available. Full suite of products were generated on July 3, 2024. The VI (VNP13A1/VJ113A1) is a 16-day product, so the outputs are not created until 16-days (give or take a little) from the start time of t...

Our product SME investigated MOD06_L2 data and found how to distinguish Cloud_Optical_Thickness (COT) between no data case and failed retrieval. For example, for 2.1 micron (band 7), the valid range for scaled Cloud_Optical_Thickness (1354, 2030) is [0,150]. The valid range for scaled Retrieval_Fail...

Dear Marco Laiolo: The Near Real Time (NRT) products (e.g., VJ202MOD_NRT and VJ203MOD_NRT) and standard products (e.g., VJ202MOD and VJ203MOD) are archived and distributed from different servers. All NRT products are available from https://nrt3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ (main) or https://nrt4.modaps.e...

Yes, the scale and the add_offset are fixed for each Scientific Data Set (SDS). The following conversion equation should be used to convert stored integers back to useful floating point values: float_value = scale_factor * (integer_value – add_offset) Information about missing data is provided in th...

Thanks very much for the information. Yes, we have this tool available from our black marble tools website at:

Yes, you are correct, the data gap and delay in processing is because of the impact of the GPS Anomaly posted on the forum and at: https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/alerts-and-issues/143045 We should be able to resume the C1 processing and take it up from that day on wards, but will not get pro...

Is there a specific file that you are referring to because we checked CLDPROP_L2_MODIS_Aqua.A2005001.0000.011.2021144065133.nc file and it seems complete with all SDSs in it (see attached)

Yes, there is ticketing system but this is internal for the development team and not open to public. You can check back towards the middle to end of July.

Thanks very much for notifying this issue. Yes, seems to be a bug. We will try to get to it soon, however due to current priorities it might take several weeks before this gets resolved. We are expecting that the earliest we can get to it is around middle of July.
