Please be aware NOAA CoastWatch has noted a positional shift in S-NPP/NOAA-20 VIIRS ocean color global mapped datasets. We are investigating the cause within the processing chain and correction/re-processing that will be taken to resolve the issue. The shift in data appears to be a systematic 2 pixel (9.3 km) westward shift in data pixels. Although the shifted data predominantly occurs beginning June 29, 2022 (Day of Year 180) there are some interspersed reprocessed datasets pre-dating that date.
NOAA CoastWatch will reprocess the affected datasets and update this notice as more information is known (note, during a Government shutdown, updates will not be published but may occur. Please contact coastwatch.info@noaa.gov for information).
Datasets affected by this include:
