Project: Preliminary_Operations
Preliminary_Operations is a Matlab Project with the programs required to setup for the program to build and fix the MODIS, Aqua L2 SST fields in us-west-2. There two programs
- rewrite_original_sst_file_nccopy.m - copies a subset of variables from files generated by the Ocean Biology Processing Group and served from https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/browse.pl?sen=amod to a new netCDF file. Variables copied are: year, day, msec, slon, slat, clon, clat, elon, elat, csol_z, sst, sstref, qual_sst, flags_sst and tilt. The most important of these is flags_sst, which is needed to fix the quality mask.
The name of the output file is the same as that of the input file with '_original.nc4' replacing '.nc' at the end of the OBPG file.
This program must be run on all OBPG files and the results moved to S3 when ready to generate fixed orbits.
- get_nadir_info.m - This function reades the nadir lat, lon locations for all granules in a month and saves the information need to contruct full orbit files starting at descending 78 S.
This program must be run prior to the program that reads all of the lats, lons, sst,... for an orbit and then fixes various problems.
