no MODIS_L2_OC data OBDAAC in python/earthaccess
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2025 7:43 am America/New_York
Hello,
I recently switched from the browse.pl data portal to pythons earthaccess library to query and download MODIS/VIIRS data. From April 1st on I get 0 results for MODISA_L2_OC(_NRT).
I use the same python code to download MODIS L1 and VIIRS L1/L2 and these work fine.
When I remove the daac="OBDAAC" from the code, it gets the data from another DAAC, but downloads randomly fail this way.
MODIS_L2_IOP(_NRT) are also not available earthaccess querying OBDAAC.
despite that:
https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/directdataaccess/Level-2/Aqua-MODIS
has all MODISA_L2 data available that is missing from the earthaccess results.
Did I miss something?
