The product series is operational since 2014:
- version OSI-208 (Metop-A) from 2014 to 23/02/2016
- version OSI-208-b (Metop-B) from 23/02/2016 onwards
Updated on 20/06/2017 following L2Pcore product update : greater yield of useful retrievals (essentially of quality class 3) are now available at mid and high latitudes + two extra experimental fields : dust cloud index, "obs minus calc" (OmC) which is used to stratify the quality of the L2P SST retrievals.
The content within square brackets "[…]" is to be replaced with whatever distributor, period, domain or download date is relevant to the data being used. The "extracted period" and "extracted domains" are only needed if a subset of the data is being used.
