Day 2019-126 (05/06/2019)
DOY 2016.166 (06.14.2016) includes night time granules that contain a "day" flag over East Africa during this calibration activity. Additionally, granules appear missing in the global browse during the daytime time to compensate for the additional data in the buffer. The impacted times are listed below.
