Hi,
I have been downloading Ocean Color Data Level 3 data and can easily get the .tar files I need - and then extract them using 7-Zip but when I try to convert the .netcdf files into shapefiles (for GIS analysis) using https://mygeodata.cloud/ (as I usually do with your data) it says that the data is is incomplete or missing essential components. Have I done something wrong during the data download? Can you advise me how to get the files ready for GIS? Thanks!

Re: Ocean colour netcdf missing key information
I have figured out the problem! I needed to download mapped data not binned data. And you can upload netcdf files easily to ArcMap and export the data as a tiff to upload in QGIS. Got there eventually. Hope this message helps others in the future!
