Modis L1A Extract: Error Locating Pixel/Line Range

by bigelowtek » Fri Sep 02, 2022 11:12 am America/New_York

Hello. I am attempting to process a modis-aqua L1A file to L2. I have successfully run modis_GEO and generated the .GEO file. Next, I run modis_L1A_extract, and the script throws the following error: "Error locating pixel/line range to extract."

This is wrapped into a larger workflow that downloads and batch processes Seawifs, Aqua, Terra, and Viirs L1A files to L2. All of the Aqua and Terra files are throwing the same pixel/line range error. The relevant line of code is:

modis_L1A_extract --verbose $L1Afile --geofile=$geofile -w -71 -s 42 -e -66 -n 45 -o $L1Asubfile --extract_geo=$geosubfile

An example L1A file I am using is: A2002191103000.L1A_LAC.
I am using the ocssw tag R2022.10.

Any insight into how to resolve the error is appreciated. Thank you.

The scene you specified does not cover the region of interest you are trying to extract:

https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/browse.pl?file=A2002191103000.L1A_LAC

So...the code is correct in reporting that it cannot find the pixel/line range

I must have made a mistake upstream in my workflow. Thank you.
