SNPP-VIIRS R2022 OC status

by pmlrsg » Wed Aug 31, 2022 5:12 am America/New_York

Hi,

We are keen to start working with the new SNPP-VIIRS R2022 OC dataset, but it doesn't seem to be available yet through the L2 browser, and unless we are mistaken it's only R2022 SST available through the direct data access. Do you have an idea when this will be completed?

Thanks in advance,
Silvia

We have not yet reprocessed either VIIRS mission with the R2022 Ocean Color code. We have not set a date yet for when that will happen, but it should be before the end of the year. While the SST files have the new format filenames, they are still produced using the 2018.0 code base and there is currently no plan to reprocess SST in the near term.

Thanks for the update Tommy, and noted regarding the SST files - always look at the metadata first!

Best,
Silvia

On a related note, the L3 time series plotter for global VIIRS data seems to go off the rails since around 2018 (which makes sense if that was the last calibration date) -- https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/l3bts?mssn=VIIRS&prod=chlor_a&stat=AA&filt=60
