MERRA-2 GES DISC data subsetter - daily mean

by mvirdee » Mon Oct 28, 2024 10:09 am America/New_York

Hi, I am trying to subset and download MERRA-2 data e.g. https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/datasets/M2T1NXADG_5.12.4/summary

I am trying to download a daily mean of 1-hour data by selecting 'Apply Statistic: Mean' in the 'Select Time Range' panel, and not selecting a time range so that it says "Mean of complete time range". However, when generating the file downloading the subset using wget, I find that the data are not daily but missing many dates.

I am wondering if this is problem with the way I am selecting the time range, or if it is a known issue with the MERRA-2 download. Thank you!
