When we ask to refresh the anc DB by passing --refreshDB to a number of routines, modules.anc_utils.finddb drops the existing satfiles record associated to the passed file name (and the ancfiles and satancinfo records related to it). This is too a strong action in some cases; e.g. if we just want to...

This issue might be related, because as a consequence the satfiles table remains on a state determined by the latest inserted record. So if this was missing some optimal anc files, a query for any other sat file will return the same result even if its corresponding anc files are present, hence leavi...

In modules.ancDB.insert_record, the status and attephstat fields in the satfiles table of the ancillary DB are updated for all the records instead of just the record that is being modified. Lines 95 to 98 should be changed to:           if atteph:      &#...

In fact, for the three options self.opt_flag indicates that the data should be retrieved.  Therefore, the change indicated in the previous post needs to be applied to all three conditions in modules.anc_utils.getanc.cleanup or we won't get an error when any of the requested data is missing:...

When the "-n|--no2" option is specified to search for NO2 ancillary data, no error is returned if the data is missing. The meaning of that option is the opposite of "-i|--ice" and "-t|--sst", which indicate that no search for sea-ice or SST ancillary data respectively s...

The installation script for SeaDAS up to the current version 7.5.3 uses the Python 2 httplib (or Python 3 http.client) library to download ancillary files via HTTPS (or HTTP). First, an HTTPS connection is created to the proxy with httplib.HTTPSConnection, and then a GET request for the relevant fil...
