MODIS Aqua geolocation files

by wang2579 » Tue Oct 11, 2022 1:21 pm America/New_York

Wish to produce some MODIS Aqua L1B files using OBDAAC (directdataaccess) L1A & GEO files. Found not all L1A files have same day Geolocation files. Such as day 2008-01-01:

https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/directdataaccess/Geo-Location/Aqua-MODIS/2008/001/
Level-1A ▸ Aqua-MODIS ▸ 2008 ▸ 001 Geo-Location ▸ Aqua-MODIS ▸ 2008 ▸ 001

A2008001000000.L1A_LAC.bz2 - Geofile not find
A2008001000500.L1A_LAC.bz2 - Geofile not find
A2008001001000.L1A_LAC.bz2 - Geofile not find
A2008001001500.L1A_LAC.bz2 - Geofile not find
A2008001002000.L1A_LAC.bz2 - Geofile not find
A2008001002500.L1A_LAC.bz2 - Geofile not find

A2008001004500.L1A_LAC.bz2 - AQUA_MODIS.20080101T004501.GEO.hdf
A2008001005000.L1A_LAC.bz2 - AQUA_MODIS.20080101T005001.GEO.hdf
A2008001005500.L1A_LAC.bz2 - AQUA_MODIS.20080101T005501.GEO.hdf
A2008001010000.L1A_LAC.bz2 - AQUA_MODIS.20080101T010001.GEO.hdf
A2008001010500.L1A_LAC.bz2 - AQUA_MODIS.20080101T010500.GEO.hdf
. . . . .

Need help to get those matching Geo-location files for L1B file processing.

Many thanks !

We have only reprocessed the GEO files for the daynight flag=1,3 so far. The GEO for night granules will be processed soon.

Thanks for the info.

Will check back to see night time geolocation files in the future.

You can still generate the night GEO files you need in SeaDAS as was done before we started putting them in the public archive.
