No recent oisst ancillary files?

There do not appear to be any new oisst ancillaries since oisst.20230201. When might we expect to see newer oisst ancillary files?

That is the latest file published at ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov:/precip/PORT/sst/oisst_v2
When that site updates, we will make it available.

I see that the site has still not updated. Have they said anything regarding the cause of the delay or when newer files might be available, or is there contact information we could use to reach out to them?

Thanks,

I sent an email to my contact at CPC. No word yet.

Sounds like production has been discontinued at CPC.

CPC was directed to stop producing the Weekly SSTOI analysis in early December 2022.
Two weeks after it stopped, there were complaints, so processing was restarted temporarily with the understanding that it would stop for good in early February 2023.

The replacement for ODPS is:
GHRSST Level 4 CMC0.2deg Global Foundation Sea Surface Temperature Analysis (GDS version 2)
(CMC0.2deg-CMC-L4-GLOB-v2.0)
