Hello all! I am trying to process some L2 PACE AOP files using L2bin. I am getting a polygon error (pasted below). This error happen in SeaDAS V9.0 and 9.2 for PACE AOP (ex granule: PACE_OCI.20250401T153859.L2.OC_AOP.V3_1), BGC (ex granule: PACE_OCI.20250401T171721.L2.OC_BGC.V3_1), and MODIS data. Both my coworker and I tried on different SeaDAS installations and replicated the same error. I also tried running the l2bin from the GUI and CLI.
Has anyone run into this issue before? Could this be caused due to using an older version of SeaDAS?

Are you able to take a clearer screenshot? Copy and Paste might work better.
Also, please also include the OCSSW info. We need to know the tag of OCSSW you are using.
Thanks,

It wont let me copy and paste anything, but I uploaded a new version (hopefully of higher quality).
The OCSSW tag is V2025.1
Thanks,
Haley

I can replicate the issue with V2025.1.
Please try V2025.5
BTW, SeaDAS 10 was released last November --

Hello,
I am now working in a cloud environment and running into the same issue as before (copy and pasted below).
On the cloud environment I am using OCSSW tag V2025.5 (installedTag = V2025.) and am using SeaDAS 9.2.0. Is there a different cause of the polygon error?
Thank you!
Haley

What version of l2bin are you using? Could you provide the full log? I ran it with l2bin 8.1.1 and saw no I issue. Could you try to run V2026.0, the most recent V tag?
