VIIRS l2gen error in initialization

[cmitchell]

When I'm processing a VIIRS SNPP file with l2gen I'm getting various errors. Any thoughts? See printout from l2gen below and the contents of the par file used as input.

I upgraded my ocssw code to V2021.2 last week. I download both the L1A and GEO files from the direct data access links.

l2gen:

Code: Select all

Input file V2018340160000.L1A_SNPP.nc is VIIRS NPP L1A NetCDF4.

You can try to extract the L1A file to your region of interest, generate a geolocation file for the extracted L1A file, and then process the extracted L1A/GEO data with l2gen using the same par file content except the north/south/east/west options

The key error here is:

Attempt to read Polar Wander file failed

Run

Code: Select all

update_luts viirsn

This should resolve things for you.
