Dear All,
while tracking iceberg A-76 with Sentinel-3X I found a major bug in SPS4.1.
In LEOstuff.py the Sentinel-3A/B/X file per pass gathering code has a line
dt += timedelta(minutes = dMin)
which as a most simple fix must be changed to
dt += timedelta(minutes = 3)
Please note that OLCI has an asymmetric swath to prevent sun glint.
If you have a central pass of Sentinel-3A/B over some POI then the
resulting band of data looks somewhat shifted to the West. Users of
Hugo's EUMETCastView see this OLCI asymmetry on the 3D-globe.
Regards,
Ernst
