Downloading SST and Chlo data from MODIS - AQUA

by methsarand » Sun Mar 22, 2026 8:35 am America/New_York

I've tried using the stac api (using R) to download data related to variables such as SST, Chlo from MODIS - Aqua for a specific location, but I don't think it is possible at all (is it?). Therefore, I tried the more 'obvious' method of making an order and downloading it from the web, but the download keeps getting timed out (Windows 11 - Microsoft Edge), and I tried doing in like the 3 separate days in the past week, is there a solution for this?

If you are using wget try adding the options: --timeout=300 --continue
