Hello,

https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/directdataaccess/Level-1B/S3A-OLCI/2022/141/
I found in that directory; NR files came 3 days after NT files. My understanding is NT shall come after NR, and their sampling timestamp in filenames shall be the same. But you can see 5 seconds difference between the following two.

For this case, NR and NT, which is the mostly updated? Please advise.

Best regards!

The NT data are the refined stream.
It isn't clear to me why ESA would reprocess a Near Real Time granule 4 days after real time.
They may have been testing something internally and published it by mistake.
I would ignore the NR granule.

Awesome! Thanks, Tommy.
