Hello everyone, newbie here and Happy New Year to all.

URL: https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/directdataaccess/Level-2/Aqua-MODIS/2025/

1. We program in Wolfram Programming Language (cloud version) and I am able to open and read the .nc file in the URL above. All is good!

2. I need a master key-list for all the available polygons for this particular attribute namely "/geophysical_data/chlor_a". I now I am able to read the lat/log from the file itself but the file name itself only encodes the time and the date!

3. For such a particular attributes again the "/geophysical_data/chlor_a" how can I do a search say for past 4 weeks, if possible for a particular polygon (if this makes any sense)

4. See my attached rendering of the actual grid data (pixels), can you help me with the color table please?

In case I am missing on the proper way of asking questions , please be patient and I shall catch up soon!

1. I fudged the color tables for the renderings in my images and would like to learn how to build a color table for each variable e.g. ipar or poc.

2. I also need to search the databases for time, variables and boxes (not even sure what this is). I tried the API/URI however obtained a lot of data I could not make any sense out of.

pdf file for the actual images:

pdf was too large to attach, thank you

Here is a video tutorial about filtering data spatially and temporally in NASA Earth Data Search, including using polygons, rectangles, circles, points, and files.

Dear Mr. Tommy thank you, very useful and very happy :)

Could you be kind and show me where the sample URL API code for doing all that from a cloud system script?
