Project idea - access and download VIIRS L2 AERDT using py #25

Open dotis opened 2 years ago

dotis commented 2 years ago

The folks at LAADS DAAC (atmosphere) provide sample py code to access and direct download data, which is used for the PR Air Quality project. I would like to streamline our process for this and use py, similar to the approach for L2 OC data. This will be particularly important if the new AQ project is funded (we should know soon).

Examples here (py example at bottom): https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/tools-and-services/data-download-scripts/#samples

One goal is to find which files we want (box over central Atlantic, Caribbean, and GoM), then grab those with wget or other.

Update: There is an API for this that is new. See below: https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/tools-and-services/api-v2/quick-start/
