OS maps with new spatial and temporal resolutions

Since beginning of July 2013, a new version 2.60 of the L3 OS processor generating salinity averaged values has been implemented. Different spatial and temporal resolutions for averaging are used with this new version :

  • 4 different spatial resolutions : 25 km, 50 km, 100 km and 200 km
  • 2 different temporal resolution : 10 day average and monthly average

So 8 different averaged salinity fields are generated.
 
!! Be careful as the name of the product changed with this evolution :

  • former versions (for example v2.4 or v2.5) generates only 200 km monthly averaged salinity field. Product type is CSF3Px with x = A for ascending, D for descending and _ for mixed orbits
    for example SM_OPER_MIR_CSF3PA_20130101T000000_20130131T235959_250_001_7.tgz
  • current version v2.6 generates 4 different types of products :
    CSF3Ax for 25 km resolution
    CFF3Bx for 50 km resolution
    CSF3Cx for 100 km resolution
    CSF3Dx for 200 km resolution
    with x = A for ascending, D for descending and _ for mixed orbits
    for example SM_OPER_MIR_CSF3AA_20130101T000000_20130131T235959_260_001_7.tgz or SM_OPER_MIR_CSF3DA_20130101T000000_20130110T235959_260_001_7.tgz

Keep in mind the name of the 200 km resolution product is different between lower and current versions.
