I don't know if you are familiar with SeaDAS -- a comprehensive software package for the processing, display, analysis, and quality control of ocean color data. https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/

You can use l3mapgen to reproject an L3b file to an L3m file and open it with SeaDAS --https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/help-8.2.0/processors/ProcessL3mapgen.html

Or you can download L3m files AQUA_MODIS.20030601_20030630.L3m.MO.POC.poc.4km.nc or AQUA_MODIS.20030601_20030630.L3m.MO.POC.poc.9km.nc here -- https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/directdataaccess/Level-3%20Mapped/Aqua-MODIS/2003/152/
