L3B with strange artifacts

Hi All,

Why am I getting these strange artifacts on every L3B product that is created on my system?

Kind regards
Reinhardt

Hi Reinhardt,

These are not artefacts but invalid pixels masked in the output result. Invalid pixels masking comes from the MACCS L2A pre-processing.
Invalid pixel in the L3B products are cloud or cloud shadow pixels.

Oh I see.
But can it be like this for every product created under the L3B tab?

The masked pixels are present on each preview right through my season…

Pixels are masked if they are detected as cloud or cloud shadow. You will therefore have pixels masked on each image if you have clouds on each image.
