Missing global ancillary data

The GMAO_GEOS-CF profile.nc files appear to be missing from the repository for 2/5/25 as well as so far today. https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/directdataaccess/Ancillary/GLOBAL/2025/05-Feb-2025/

The site that we get our GMAO_GEOS-CF data from experienced unplanned downtime, which delayed our acquisition of the data. The files should be available now.

Hello, it appears the last several days of ancillary data are once again missing the GMAO GEOS-CF data. Is this a temporary outage again or do you have any updates?

GMAO transitioned from CF V1 to CF V2 and we had to modify our code to read the new file format.

The new code was published this morning and CF processing is caught up again.

The aforementioned GMAO files came back for a few days but appear to have ceased again starting on the 9th and continuing through today

GMAO published files overnight.
Keep in mind that the CF (now CF2) product is a research product and is not part of their "operational" suite of products. CF2 processing may be deferred if higher priority jobs need the CPUs.
You can monitor the status of our source with this link: https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/operations/status.php
