Starting yesterday (2025-07-12) file_search started returning No Results Found for all queries I've tried, even ones that worked before.

Code: Select all

wget -q --post-data="results_as_file=1&sensor_id=7&dtid=1041&sdate=2025-06-13 00:00:00&edate=2025-06-13 23:59:59&subType=1" -O - https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search

I just tried 2025-05-19 that seems to work. Was there a MODIS outage in June? What dates? But when I query by subscription I get no results:

Code: Select all

wget -q --post-data="results_as_file=1&sdate=2025-05-19 00:00:00&edate=2025-05-19 23:59:59&subID=2380&subType=1" -O - https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search

After a little more investigation is looks like not MODIS L2 data is available from 2025-06-02 to 2025-06-30. if I change the start date 2025-06-01, I get data for 6/1/25 but any date after that fails.

Code: Select all

wget -q --post-data="results_as_file=1&sensor_id=7&dtid=1041&sdate=2025-06-01 00:00:00&edate=2025-06-30 23:59:59&subType=1" -O - https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search

The dtid=1041 tells the file search to look for refined Aqua_MODIS L2 OC (ocean color) products. There are none generated beyond June 1st yet. if you set dtid=1053 you will get the near real-time (NRT) version of that product, which is available through the current date.
