Hi,
I have noticed that for some files (e.g. https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/ob/getfile/AQUA_MODIS.20020704T032005.L2.SST.nc) the time in the file name doesn't match the time_coverage_start global attribute in the metadata: the seconds are different. For other files the match is OK.
Is there a reason for this?
Best regards,
Miguel

Miguel,
During the SST reprocessing, we took the opportunity to update the metadata in our database to add new information.
This is a case (and likely not an isolated one) where the reprocessed metatdata run resulted in a more correct start time for the scene (which is reflected in the time_coverage_start attribute), but the filename generation had already grabbed the previously recorded start time. If that file were reprocessed now, it would have a filename consistent with the time_coverage_start attribute.
