Hello, The CSPP SDR software is failing due to a problem with ancillary data downloads from our server. We are currently working to resolve the problem. As a temporary solution, use the sdr execution scripts (for example viirs_sdr.sh) with the “-l” option which will bypass attempts to download the f...

Hello Margad, 1.) To create a 375 m spatial resolution image, you will need to create your own grid. The easiest way to do this is by using the p2g_grid_helper.sh script. You can find instructions on how to use this script in the Polar2Grid documentation, online at : https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/softwa...

Hello again Andrew, Sorry that we have not gotten back to you before now. We considered the best way to advise you in using legacy LUTs with the VIIRS CSPP SDR software, and we found that there really is no easy way to do this. It is possible to provide a date to `sdr_luts.sh -t `, which will downlo...
