Hello. Concept IDs change as versions change, so be careful to check for the latest available version.

Here is an example of how to find collection concept IDs using a CMR query. Search for the field "concept-id" and find the one that begins with the letter 'C'. Collection concept-id's start with the letter 'C'.

https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/collections.umm-json?provider=OB_CLOUD&short_name=MODISA_L3M_CHL

If you are not sure about a collection short_name, you can find the collection in Earthdata Search first. By the way, the Earthdata Search URL will show the collection concept ID too!

https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C3380709133-OB_CLOUD&pg[0][v]=f&pg[0][gsk]=-start_date&q=modis%20aqua%20level%203%20mapped%20chlorophyll&tl=1387369367.691!5!!

In both examples, you'll see the concept id for Aqua MODIS L3 mapped chlorophyll is C3380709133-OB_CLOUD.
