Request DSCOVR 1B Version 2 product

by ASDC - micook » Wed Dec 18, 2024 11:56 am America/New_York

Could you please let me know which category contains the wavelength-specific data from the images taken by DSCOVR?
Alternatively, is that data not included in DSCOVR_EPIC_L1B_V2?

I would greatly appreciate your response.

DSCOVR_EPIC_L1B_03 is the only publicly available L1B product from DSCOVR EPIC, see https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search?q=DSCOVR_EPIC_L1B. Granule names are epic_1b_YYYYMMDDhhmmss_03.h5, e.g., epic_1b_20241218163013_03.h5.

Structure inside the file has a group for every EPIC spectral band. Inside those groups there is dataset "Image" containing sensors counts per second data. Along with the dataset, there is also a subgroup "Geolocation" containing viewing geometry datasets and latitude and longitude datasets.
