Note that HARP does not have any destripe correction built in. The destriping for CO is actually a destriping performed by the processor itself. The CO product contains both ‘normal’ and destriped column values.
Thank you Sander for your quick reply and thank you for pointing me to that other post. I’m already using the “ch4=bias_corrected” option but still observe stripes patterns. Sorry for my misunderstanding about thinking that HARP could do destripe correction. I wish it could.
Destriping product access via HARP now appears to be documented for CH4 at S5P_L2_CH4 — HARP 1.23 documentation. However, when I use HARP 1.23 and the “ch4=corrected” option during ingestion, I get an error even when processing recent data from processor version >= 02.07.00: “invalid value ‘corrected’ for option ‘ch4’ of ingestion module ‘S5P_L2_CH4’”.
The changes were already implemented in the source code repository of HARP, but not included in a new release. This new release was still pending, but we will create the new release today.
good point. I have checked the L2 file I downloaded TODAY using copernicus dataspace OData API. It is data from 2019 and I see “:ProcessorVersion = “1.3.2”;”. So, I guess I can confirm that the destripe has not worked on this previous processor version. And I guess that the methane database has not been fully reprocessed and served via this API. Thanks Sander!
