Hello everyone!
When I try to use the lv3 Chlorophyll data from MODIS-aqua for the DINEOF in matlab, I find that there is no 'time' variables like 'lat' and 'lon' in the monthly data, so the matrix of my data is 312X264,but I thought it should be 312X264X30, because it is monthly data. Is there any solution for this situation？
Where is the Variables of time in the LV3 Chlorophyll data from MODIS-aqua？

Monthly data has the days averaged. If you want every day then grab the daily files.

Thank you for the reply.
You mean if I want to get the 312X264X30 chla data, I need to download the daily data and then merge them as a monthly data. Is it correct？

It is worth mentioning that the Climate Data Operators (https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo) allow you to add time to OBPG netcdf level-3 files and merge them into a single file in batch processing. CDO is available on Windows using Cygwin64, from anaconda.org for linux and macOS, and as packages from some linux distributions.
