An alternative approach to reducing costs could be to remove processing of the ocean color datasets.
@edshred2000 mentioned that ocean color is used to derive experimental variables in the output datasets. So removing ocean color would mean we lose those variables, but the SST variables (which are of higher value) would not be affected.
