Processing multiple VIIRS L0 data

Hi,

I'm trying to process 5-min VIIRS L0 data from NOAA CLASS, they are all in h5 format.

Now I want to process multiple L0 files in one orbit and aggregate them to one L1 file, can CSPP-SDR 3.3 do this?

I tried to add file like "f1.h5 f2.h5", but it did not work.

Sincerely hope for your help, thanks.

Regards,
Hu

Hello Hu,

The CSPP SDR software can accept multiple input files and aggregate them into one output file. The inputs to the CSPP SDR Version 3.3 software are Raw Data Record (RDR) files in HDF5 format, which can be ordered through NOAA CLASS. An example RDR file name is:

RNSCA-RVIRS_npp_d20211218_t2355003_e2356256_b52559_c20211219011026108611_oeau_ops.h5

You can provide multiple RDR files as input to the CSPP SDR software through the use of Wild Cards. For example:

viirs_sdr.sh -p 4 -a /data/npp/RNSCA-RVIRS_npp*.h5

I hope this helps,

Good luck. Kathy
