Details/Specifics of Change: The NOAA-20 VIIRS Ocean Color (N20 OC) Products have been implemented in the okeanos OPS. The users can access the N20 OC products using the same way as accessing the SNPP and MODIS Ocean Color Products (from the ops-ftps or PDA). The N20 OC products filename starts with “VR1” vs. “VRS” for the SNPP OC products. In addition, there are a couple of filename pattern changes for the SNPP VIIRS OC products for this promotion:

· Rrs672 à Rrs671

· Frontal products: VRSVCW à VRSQCW

· nLw412 à nLw410

· nLw445 à nLw443

· nLw488 à nLw486

· nLw555 à nLw551

· nLw672 à nLw671

Please note: due to the changes from Rrs672 to Rrs671, the anomaly merge for the Rrs products will not be available until the middle of July.
