VIIRS 0.1x0.1 DBDT data not processed for over a year though active? AER_DBDT_D10KM_L3_VIIRS_NOAA20

[bafitzge]

Hello everyone,

I am using the AER_DBDT_D10KM_L3_VIIRS_NOAA20 dataset because the daily fine spatial resolution on a climate modeling grid is important for my use case. However, although the dataset is active and should be current until present day, there is no data available after June 15, 2025.

Is this related to the fact that the V2 of VIIRS Deep blue was released last month? If so, will there be a new version of the dataset? If so, when could I expect that to be ready?

Best,
Brooke Fitzgerald
