Processing level 0 MODIS Aqua Product

by fatemahfa » Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:48 am America/New_York

Good Evening;
I am working in red tide project where we need to use level 0 MODIS Aqua images. While I was using SEADAS command L1A to generate a level 1A product from the zero level with pds extension it didn't work and L1A file is not generated. I have tried two websites for downloading level 0 :
https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/browse.pl
https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/MOD ... /2008/147/
but same didn't work. Is there any other website for downloading the level 0 product, or I should do any initial step before Modis L1A command?
If I used level 1A product are all the bands available for red tide/algae detection?
Kind regards

Unless you have need to concatenate the L0 files to produce a larger L1A file that the standard 5 minute granules, you should probably just use the L1A files we distribute, as the process to go from L0 to L1A will simply produce the same output as we make available as L1A. However, if you want to use L0 as input, you would need to provide more information about how the modis_L1A script is failing for you.

Please also tell us what version of SeaDAS you are using, what operating system you are on, what L0 file you are trying to work on and if you have installed modisa processor.

I got the following error : execution exception: java.lo. loexception modis L1A to create pro null.
Can you please guide me in the steps for processing your modis L1A in SEADAS.
I am using SEADAS 8.0 version

Can you do "SeaDAS-OCSSW -> SeaDAS/System Info" and paste the printout here?

Also, please give the specific L0 file name you are working on, so I can try to replicate the error.

Also, can you please provide me with how to work with MODIS level 1A ready product do I can use it in other programs like ENVI, ECOGNITION directly?
Thank you

Judging from the SeaDAS/System info output, I am not sure you have installed modisA processor correctly.

Did you do SeaDAS-OCSSW → Install/Update OC Processors as descibed in https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/downloads/?
