Howdy,
Our Mac G5 server went down earlier this week which has been causing havoc with the altimetry and chloro imagery. We are repairing that in addition to buying a new one as backup. Should be back to normal soon.
The latest sea temp image swath was not fully accepted, thus half-black...it happens sometimes with the satellites.
For those of you considering the long run to Alaminos Canyon, you may want to re-consider as the Stena Tay and Discoverer Spirit have both moved! Stena Tay is enroute to Africa, and Discoverer Spirit is 1 mile south of Mars.
All the best,
Tom Hilton
