Hello everyone,

For some time, I need to download the data for the SST 11 ?m daytime product (AQUA-Modis) to the monthly scale. But there is'nt the data for the 2020 march and after.

Do you have some informations to the purpose of this lack of data ?

Thanks a lot for your answer,

The April SST monthly means require daily files for the full month of April. Because of the timing of the spacecraft orbit, the daily file for April 30 requires data from May 1. The May 1 data cannot be processed until the refined ancillary data for May are published, which typically happens mid to late June.
