Problem downloading SWOT PIXCVec files

[cordmaur]

I'm using earthaccess to download PIXC and PIXCVec SWOT products. For the same args (bbox and time range), the PIXCVec is returning several files that are not within the AOI.

Here is an example:

results = earthaccess.search_data(
    short_name='SWOT_L2_HR_PIXC_2.0', 
    temporal=('2023-11-06', '2023-11-07'), 
    bounding_box=AOI.bounds
)

Granules found: 1

results = earthaccess.search_data(
    short_name='SWOT_L2_HR_PIXCVec_2.0', 
    temporal=('2023-11-06', '2023-11-07'), 
    bounding_box=AOI.bounds
)

Granules found: 115

When we check for the results, we can see that several PIXVec files have Spatial Extent incorrectly (imho) set to -180, -90, 180, 90, and that's causing this discrepancy in the search.

I don't know if this is the best channel for such issue.

Thanks for reporting this issue! This is at least a good place to start :) Unfortunately, we can't actually fix the problem. I think the best place to report this would be to PO DAAC's user support: podaac@podaac.jpl.nasa.gov
