AppEEARS API
Posted: Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:42 am America/New_York
Hi all,
I'm using Python to download some MODIS data through the AppEEARS API. In my task request, I submit a tupled list of the layer and product I want to download, in this case: NDSI_Snow_Cover, MOD10A1.006. Everything works fine, except that as well as the NDSI_Snow_Cover layer, I also get the NDSI_Snow_Cover_Algorithm_Flags_QA and NDSI_Snow_Cover_Basic_QA layers. I'm guessing this happens because these layer names also contain 'NDSI_Snow_Cover', because I don't get e.g. the orbit_pnt or Snow_Albedo_Daily_Tile layers that are also associated with MOD10A1.006. I don't need the QA layers, and they take a long time to process and download, so I'd rather not get them if possible.
Any ideas as to how to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot!
