hello
i would like to know the procedure for extracting modis aqua sst.
thank you

Please be more descriptive about what it is you need.  Is it obtaining extracted L2 files?  extracted L3 files?  retrieving pixel data from a netCDF file?

i want to validate satellite data with ground truth data. i would like to know how to retrieve satellite derived SST values for the corresponding points on ground.

Ah, for that you could use the fd_matchup.py and mk_matchup.py scripts supplied with SeaDAS.  Details on their use can be found on our SeaBASS website.

Thank you

hello
every time i run the multilevel_processor.py i get the error below. what  should i do?

teresa@teresa-Latitude-E6410:~$  ./multilevel_processor.py mapgen.par
Traceback (most recent call last):

l also get the error below when i use the multilevel processor in the GUI.
execution exception: java.io.IOException: multilevel_processor.py failed with exit code 1.
Check log for more details.
Unanticipated error encountered during processing!
what causes the error?

Did you add the two lines from the Command Line Configuration section at the end of the DOWNLOADS page to your ~/.bashrc file (you will need to open a new terminal window so the new settings are active)?   The installer puts multilevel_processor.py in the $OCSSWROOT/scripts directory together with a directory of modules.    You have multilevel_processor.py in your home directory, but we have no way of knowing how it ended up there or if it is a current version.  It might be helpful if you describe any deviations from the steps given on the DOWNLOADS page.    Some very common "deviations" include: running the installation using "sudo" elevated privileges, extra spaces or including the square brackets) in entering the "[SeaDAS_install_dir]", and errors such as "out of space" when running
the installer.

It may be helpful to double check your command-line configuration.   If you are not sure they are correct, paste the output of the following commands into a new message.

1.  display the value of $OCSSWROOT: in a terminal, run "echo $OCSSWROOT".

2.  list the contents of the $OCSSWROOT/scripts directory: in a terminal, run "ls $OCSSWROOT/scripts".

3.  check that the PATH variable is set properly: in a terminal, run "which multilevel_processor.py".

thank you. it has worked
