You don't mention the python version.   Apple's python uses an old SSL library that doesn't support NASA's https configuration, so you will need a more up-to-date Python 2.7.   If you did install a newer Python, you may need to adjust your PATH variable to ensure ...

You are making things too complicated.  Assuming you have the  Required software,  in a terminal, just run:wget https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/SeaDAS/installer/7.3.2/seadas_7.3.2_linux64_installer.sh and you should see something like:--2017-03-03 12:04:59--  https://oceandat...

Last year you found processing images one at a time was slow.   At that time I suggested that you might find a terminal and shell scripts helpful.  Now it turns out that the terminal is not avoidable if you need to update the OCSSW processing system before the new GUI appears.  I...

The default location of ocssw for the GUI is <seadas_install_dir>/ocssw while for the command-line installer it is $HOME/ocssw.   You can change the location in the GUI by editing <seadas_install_dir/config/seadas.config.   For example, to use $HOME/ocssw the last few lines of se...

You mentioned: "(export OCSSWROOT=$HOME/seadas-7.3.2/ocssw and $ .ocssw/OCSSW_bash.env )".   It isn't clear that the second command is equivalent to "source $OCSSWROOT/OCSSW_bash.env" or ". $OCSSWROOT/OCSSW_bash.env".   If you have more than one ...

You are using /usr/bin/git which is probably still Ubuntu's old version.   What is echo $PATH?   The directory where the new git resides should come before/usr/bin.   Another option is to uninstall the Ubuntu version using your package manager (if this fails because...

As mentioned on the page you reference, the OCSSW Processing System does not at present run on Windows.     You can run it in a linux virtual machine or install linux on the Windows system.  You can also do some processing on Windows (e.g., without installing the OCSSW Processing...

The US Government has turned off "public-facing" http servers, see Changes to data distribution from the OB.DAAC and the OceanColor Web and Earthdata Login for Data Access.  The old URL you mentioned should redirect to https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/ocssw/ (it does for me using F...

The negative values you are seeing from ncdump occur because the "unsigned" attribute is not be respected.  The NetCDF header says short sst(lat, lon) ;    sst:long_name = "Sea Surface Temperature" ;    sst:units = "degree_C" ;    sst:...

Matlab's current NetCDF reader should use the scale parameters (and missing value codes) from NetCDF-CF files without the need to apply scaling after the data have been loaded in Matlab.  Older versions of Matlab did not handle some NetCDF-CF files ("unsupported data type") in whi...
