Seadas T2022.2 modis_atteph and getanc issues

by melinfr » Thu Apr 21, 2022 11:16 am America/New_York

Dear support,

I have not understood the conclusion of the thread on the particular issue of SST vs SEAICE, and I have a similar problem.
Using getanc (associated with SeaDAS 8.2.0 installed last week) on MODIS A or T, or VIIRS (100s of files), a large part of the .anc files returned by getanc contain a SST file instead of the SEAICE file for "icefile=" (example: V2021182021200.L1A_JPSS1.nc). Clearly this is a major issue as I am assuming that l2gen will not like having a SST file passed instead of sea ice concentration.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help,
Best, F.

The SST file has a variable with the ice data in it. For the VIIRS J2 file in your example, notice the variable named "ice" from the dump of the NetCDF file:
