In MODIS/AQUA SST4 L2 Quicklook granules, there is a SDS named qual_sst4 with a cloud mask from 0 to 3. This SDS is missing in corresponding Terra granules. Where is the cloud mask for Terra ?

Jacques,

I asked the processing group to make all Terra SST files with the same parameter set used for Aqua. That should happen soon. We've just recently resolved a minor discrepancy with Terra brightness temps between our processing and the most recent MODAPS/DAAC products, and we are making preparations to start supporting Terra SST in an "official" capacity.

OK Bryan, could you send an "official" message as soon as the Terra granules are OK for download ?
