Dear NASA team,

I am trying to download Level-3 Rrs annual data from the past 3 days. But I couldn't able to download these data from the NASA ocean color website.
Please help in this regard.

The L3 data are available from the L3 browser:
https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/l3/

...or from the direct data access pages:
https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/directdataaccess/
(under Level-3 Binned / Mapped, annual files would be in the <YEAR>/001 subdirectories for the sensor)

...or from the file search utility:
https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search/
(for the current web interface, use "*L3b.YR*" in the filename pattern - a soon to be released update will allow searches for L3 time periods without the need of the search pattern)

BTW, what URL were you using that produced the error page?

Hello! I have a related question with Level 3 data. I'm using the data search API tool and I need monthly Rrs data that have been processed with the 2022 processing. Are these not available yet? I'm only getting 2018 processing data through May 2022...

thank you!

They are available:

Code: Select all

curl -d "std_only1&subType1&sdate=2002-08-01&edate=2022-11-01&dtype=L3b&dtid=1042&search=*L3b.MO.RRS.nc &sensor_id=7&results_as_file=1" https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search

Thanks Sean.

Why do these not come up in the web file search? It is still ending in May for me...

https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search/

Also, what about the L3 mapped files?

How are you using the web interface? Are you specifying a search pattern? If so, what is it?
BTW, I used it to do the search, just posted the cURL command it spits out for convenience for posting on the forum.
The API is the same on the backend.

Here's an example for the monthly Rrs_443:

Code: Select all

curl -d "std_only1&subType1&sdate=2002-08-01&edate=2022-11-01&dtype=L3m&search=*L3m.MO.RRS.Rrs_443*&sensor_id=7&results_as_file=1" https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search

Thanks Sean,

I was using wildcards & searching for monthly Rrs Aqua data for the entire mission period. Here's an example of output (see attached) -

I really don't see how there should be any difference in the files from what you posted and how I'm searching!
