When will OCO2 data be updated?

[sallymatson]

I'm looking to work with the "OCO2_L2_Lite_FP 9r" data. How long in delay does it get released? Currently I see that it is updated until January 22, but I'm interested in knowing how the delay works.

The OCO-2 version 9r Lite files will not be processed beyond January 22, 2020. Lite files are produced using the retrospectively-processed data and are typically available no earlier than a month after the observation time. Following the OCO Team efforts to improve the pending release, there is a delay in the new version 10r Lite, which is now expected around the end of July. Please, note that early release of the OCO-3 Lite files containing xCO2 produced by the same algorithm as OCO-2 build 10 is currently available for the period August 2019 - June 2020.

All available OCO (2 and 3) Lite files can be searched by applying:
