Full orbit dissemination for L2 PMW sea ice concentration (OSI-410-a)

Dear OSI SAF Sea Ice Concentration User,

This is to inform you that since October 18th the products for L2 PMW sea ice concentration that correspond to AMSR-2 are generated and disseminated as full orbit products, where before we had a half-orbit (ascending & descending) which JAXA GCOM-W1 made available for retrieval. On October 18th, JAXA stopped making these available and we are now receiving full orbit L1 AMSR-2 microwave brightness temperature files from EUMETCast. Please do note, that nothing else has changed, the L2 products remain the same except that they now reflect a full orbit instead of half.


Best Regards,
OSI SAF Team
