Notes
Beginning on August 11-14, 2014, CLASS started receiving the majority of JPSS data in gzip compressed format. The file names remained the same. Other than the file size being smaller, users do not need to make any changes to their software to use the data.
On December 4, 2014, at approximately 1509 UTC, the CrIS Instrument transitioned to full spectrum mode. Full length Interferograms for the Mid-Wave and Short-Wave IR channels are now being collected. All Stored Mission Data products, SDRs, and higher level products are expected to remain unchanged.
