HI , I need to download L3 level images to extract the monster average of chlorophyll from my northern region
as
I saw this link but the upload is impossible
https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/l3
if it's the right site, I download monthly or monthly climatology (to extract chlorophyll)
for the sensor I chose Aqua MODIS chlorophyll concentration, OCI algorithm or Aqua MODIS chlorophyll concentration, OCx algorithm
what is the best to extract chlorophyll
Is there another site where I can download these pictures ,,, ???
and how can I download this type of images A2006167181000.L3b_time.hdf

The link you cite goes to the level-3 browser. If you only need a few files it is very convenient, but I'm not sure what you meand by "the upload is impossible". After setting your parameters in the pulldown lists you should see a series of small images. If you move the pointer to one of these images, you should see "SMI" and "BIN" displayed in the lower corners and a filename. If you click on one of these, a download should start. In some cases the small images may be replaced by "not available". Usually this just means the image is in the process of being updated, whcih might require a wait of a few days.
See chlor_a ATBD for comparisons of OCI and OCx.
There are two other ways to download data: Direct Data Access (file browswer) and Data File Search (fill in a form to generate a list of filenames or URL's for bulk downloading).
The file you mention is an example of level-3 binned data. These files do not provide images directly, but have to mapped. The SMI files are mapped
using a cylindrical equidistant projection that many people find easy to use, but for some purposes you may want to use the

l3mapgen
program with a different projection. Note that l3mapgen
can use either L3b or L3m data.-

Aqua/MODIS data are currently being reprocessed.
