Acquisition of SST_OIV2AV_24h Files in Ancillary While Processing MODIS Data with OCSSW

[chenzhaotong]

We are using the 2024 version of OCSSW to process MODIS Aqua data for the 2023-2024 period. While retrieving SST files, we noticed that the previously used SST files (for example, N2023001_SST_OIV2AV_24h.nc.bz2 path: https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/directdataaccess/Ancillary/GLOBAL/2023/01-Jan-2023/N2023001_SST_OIV2AV_24h.nc.bz2) are not available in the 2023-2024 ancillary folder.

We would like to inquire whether there are alternative SST files available or if the file paths have changed.

We are using 0230101120000-CMC-L4_GHRSST-SSTfnd-CMC0.1deg-GLOB-v02.0-fv03.0.nc instead of N2023001_SST_OIV2AV_24h.nc.bz2 as the sst file in your case
