seadas-7.5 Unable to initialize SST file

Tommy,

Brian was having issues with l2gen, and asked me to run the suggestion here:
https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/forum/oceancolor/topic_show.pl?pid=48109;hl=MODIS%20geolocation%20processing%20failed

So he asked me to run:
install_ocssw.py -b v7.5 --aqua as per the topic

Now my processing is failing with this error again?

-E- /home/seadas/ocssw/src/l2gen/sstref.c : Unable to initialize SST file
/optics1/software/seadas/seadas-7.5/ocssw/var/anc/2019/272/N2019272_SST_OIV2AV_24h.nc 273

However, the previous problem isn't the cause:
searobin 148 :/optics1/software/seadas/seadas-7.5.3> ncdump -h /optics1/software/seadas/seadas-7.5/ocssw/var/anc/2019/272/N2019272_SST_OIV2AV_24h.nc | grep title

I moved this to the SeaDAS 7 board.

I am unable to replicate your problem.
Please verify the version of l2gen you are running matches:

$ l2gen -version
msl12 9.5.0-V2019.3 (Aug 16 2019 12:47:35)

I have this version
searobin 170 :/optics1/software/seadas/seadas-7.5.3/ocssw/share/common> l2gen -version
msl12 9.5.0-V2019.3 (Aug 16 2019 12:47:35)

Sean,

Please close this. When I updated with this command:

install_ocssw.py -b v7.5 --aqua

Somehow things were not proper in the environment.
I had the script print out the l2gen version, and it was the incorrect version.
I made some corrections, and restarted the processing, and all is well.

Sorry for the trouble.

Well, almost. I was trying to fix why Brian's stuff was failing. He is posting his issue (actually Chuanmin's issue), that he was troubleshooting.

Hi ,
I run into the same errors when i was l2gen processing recent data (S3A:OLCI) in the scenes, for instance
...
Loading DEM info from /usr/local/app/seadas-7.5/ocssw/share/common/ETOPO1_ocssw.nc
-E- /usr/local/app/seadas-7.5/ocssw/ocssw-src/src/l2gen/sstref.c : Unable to initialize SST file
/usr/local/app/seadas-7.5/ocssw/var/anc/2019/203/N2019203_SST_OIV2AV_24h.nc 203

Does this issue get solved ! Looking forward to solutions!

Thanks,
Hui

The original problem was solved by updating to the current version. Did you check the version of l2gen on your system?

hi

My version is quite old: msl12 9.3.0--128-NOTFOUND (Aug 7 2018 09:53:52)
It looks I have to upgrade l2gen, right?
Thanks
