There was a problem at ESA that delayed the arrival of S3B and S3B OLCI L1B files. The problem appears to be sorted, and the NRT L3 files have been re-binned to fill any gaps where possible. There are still a few delayed files so you may see an occasional gap. We hope to recover these files before t...

There were a couple of partial L1A files that were holding things up. They should be published soon.

if you install SeaDAS you can run getanc For a date in October 2023 it gets the GEOS_FP NRT ancillary For a Date in September 2023 it gets the MERRA2 refined ancillary SeaDAS/ocssw/bin/getanc -m aqua -s 2023291220001 -v ancillary_data.db Searching database: SeaDAS/ocssw/var/log/ancillary_data.db Inp...

The MERRA2 reanalysis files are released by GMAO in monthly batches, usually in the third week of the following month. You can expect a 25–55-day latency. The current Near Real Time products are the GMAO_FP MET files. GMAO is in the process of replacing them with the GEOS_IT NRT stream. We are provi...

It looks like you can contact kstamnes@stevens.edu for questions or feedback about OC-Smart

We can work with them to sort this out.

Thanks

The NCEPR2 and AURAOMI have been replaced with GMAO MERRA2 ancillary MET files. Update your code to use these instead.

The mission began in July 2002, so the July and August monthly climatologies begin in 2002:

We are no longer producing the O3_AURAOMI_24h.hdf
We have switched to using the O3 from the GMAO_FP data.

We stopped producing the AURAOMI files and now use the modeled O3 in MERRA2 met files.
